How can I bring my medication for HIV when traveling in China? What do I need to pay attention to?

"All Country" is happy to answer this question for you, and welcomes discussion and pats on the back!


I. There are no specific regulations on the carrying of medicines in domestic tourism, and if there is no prohibition in the law, it is legal.

No matter what kind of medication is used to treat a disease, there are certain requirements and conditions for taking it, including the dosage, time, contraindications, and possible side effects. If you travel, considering the uncertainty of travel, the limitations of accommodation, the use of transportation, etc., there are many inconveniences compared to home, so it is not recommended for patients with serious diseases that require special treatment.

For those who really need to go out, or whose going out does not affect the treatment, they can carry the treatment drugs with them. As long as it is not prohibited, the state has no special regulations. Involving drugs this piece, for some controlled drugs or need to pay attention to, especially narcotic, corrosive, highly toxic, addictive drugs, etc., in the airport, station and other places need to security check, or to be subject to certain restrictions.

Under current regulations, medications for AIDS are not restricted and can be carried on the person.

Secondly, drugs for the treatment of AIDS do not require special storage conditions and carrying them around does not affect their efficacy.

At present, for AIDS patients who have been discovered and registered, virus carriers are provided with treatment drugs free of charge through local CDCs, or community medical institutions, while maintaining confidentiality for the patients. This type of therapeutic drugs do not require special preservation conditions and environment, do not need specific refrigeration and other equipment, so you can carry with you.

Although drugs for the treatment of AIDS do not require a special preservation environment, taking into account the unforeseen circumstances that may arise during travel, such as rain or snow, sudden road stranding, or other accidents, etc., so when carrying such drugs, try to store them in a safe place to prevent them from getting wet, falling into the water, or being lost, etc. For those who like to go rafting, scuba diving, rock-climbing, bungee jumping, jumping jacks and other challenging types of travel programs, be sure to Store the medication properly to prevent loss and moisture failure.

(c) When traveling, the amount of medication for the treatment of AIDS should be ensured in accordance with the travel itinerary.

Although the State provides free medication for the treatment of AIDS patients, it is mainly the patients themselves who receive the prescribed dosage according to their condition and treatment. The main treatment requirement is to take the medication consistently and the treatment process should not be interrupted. Therefore, when traveling, it is important to plan a reasonable route, especially the time required for travel, and to ensure that the medication you carry is sufficient for the duration of the trip.

Fourthly, one's own confidentiality also needs to be considered.

The State clearly stipulates that AIDS patients should not be discriminated against, and that general contact will not lead to HIV infection, but due to the influence of traditional concepts and the special nature of the mode of infection of AIDS, it is inevitable that the general public will have different views and discrimination against AIDS patients, and this may even cause panic among a certain group of people.

Therefore, when traveling, when storing and taking AIDS medication, try to store the medication in a place that is not easy for people to notice, and take it in a relatively secret environment without attracting the attention of others, not only to avoid causing panic to others, but also to prevent the general population from discriminating against themselves.

You can carry the medicine with you, don't buy it online; see if you have enough medicine before you leave; go to the hospital if you don't have enough, and tell the doctor that you are traveling and need to dispense more medicine to treat AIDS.

I'm assuming you're traveling abroad with your medication, because at home you basically don't need to ask, there's nothing wrong with it.

First of all, if you are on prescription medication, I suggest you bring a prescription from your doctor. In western countries customs, prescription drugs require that you bring a prescription in person to prove that you are taking these drugs yourself and not potentially buying or selling them. In the U.S. and Canada, prescription medications are labeled on the outside of the box with the name of the owner taking the medication, the name of the doctor, the name of the pharmacy, and so on. It is precisely because prescription drugs are hard to come by that there is a black market for them.

Second, depending on the length of your trip, take care to bring enough medicine. If you are traveling for a longer period of time and are unable to return to your home country for a prescription, you may need to bring a doctor's prescription with you and get a refill at a local clinic.

The best thing to do is to get a clean date! Then travel together. Then find some more compliant big brand hotels to stay in. This is what you should pay attention to it! If the direct netizen chat turns out to be a deep thought. Now there is no AIDS vaccine if there can try! No don't bullshit, in addition to AIDS there are STDs!

There's usually no problem, no one will check you when you go through the security check, they'll know it's medicine, they won't ask, and it's only a 10-day trip, as far as I know, you won't be taking a lot of medication, only three bottles, so there's no harm in bringing it for a month, don't worry too much.

Under current regulations, medications for AIDS are not restricted and can be carried on the person.
