abstract: People with HIV+ travelling around the world comprise a unique group regarding immunological disorders which can be intensified due to, e.g. climatic and time zones. Increased exposure of vulnerable tourists to various biological factors (viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites) is hazardous to their health. Travellers are advised to active prophylaxis as far as endemic diseases of particular globe regions are concerned. Limitations in vaccine use in HIV+ travellers are due to the kind of biological material contained in preparations. Live vaccines in those with impaired immunity are limited as it is widely known. It is absolutely contraindicated to vaccinate patients with AIDS against tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and yellow fever. Killed vaccines are considered safe and recombined ones are recommended. Vaccines against HBV, HAV, Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib), influenza, and pneumococcus are indicated. However, the kind of prophylaxis should be individualized, decided by a managing physician in concord with an appropriate referential center.
