title: Adult Travelers with HIV Infection.
abstract: The number of HIV-infected persons who travel to the developing world is increasing. Pleasure, business, other work, and illness or death in families brings these special travelers to all corners of the world.1,2 Health care providers should ask patients who are seeking advice whether they are HIV-infected or at risk so that these travelers can be adequately protected and prepared. In most instances international travel is feasible, but in some cases itineraries may be modified or additional recommendations may be given to make trips safer and more enjoyable. This paper reviews the health problems that persons with HIV infection may face during international travel, and their prevention.
