Just declare it as part of your luggage and the purpose. Trying to cover up is the reason why our guys enter trouble most times.

I already tried sending to him via DHL...it has gotten to Canada but for close to a week now, no update no feedback. They requested for clarification on the drug because I initially stated that they were supplements. I have responded to them even attached a document which he used in getting the drugs free here in Nigeria before he traveled, still no update. We don't now if it will be delivered to him or rejected. Or is there another menas of sending it?
Why did you tag an ARV as supplements?

ARVs are prescription medications.

HIV management is more than just drugs. Not even here in our HIV Clinics do we immediately place you on ARVs immediately, given the benefits of waiting outweighs the risk of immediately placing you on it, after the confirmation. We usually don't and it's standard in the tx guideline.

In his case, if he's yet to be placed on ARVs or eventually on a different class of ARVs from the ones you're taking there, your effort may amount to waste.

It's better he starts the treatment there first then discuss his concerns with his care provider. There are support groups that will help him even without you getting into any hassle.


This is actually dangerous information and misinformation while appearing to paint it as authentic.

Treatment is usually initiated ASAP, same day if possible.

It's okay to be unsure about something, it's not okay to confidently give misleading/wrong potentially dangerous information

Dear Nairalanders,

My younger brother was diagnosed with HIV when he applied for a stidy visa to canda. Fortunately, he was granted the visa. However he is yet to get health insurance in Canada. I intend traveling there soon and they are asking that I come with his drugs.

Please advise. Can I travel with ARV drugs on his behalf? Are there risks associated?

Please help.

The drug isn't prohibited. Like someone already recommended, get Doctor's prescription and a possible letter to back it up. Put it in your luggage. They'll only scan and won't detect it and even if they do, it isn't a prohibited drug. Ordinarily, you no suppose disturb yourself for something like this. Just keep it in you "LUGGAGE" bag.

Very true and common. And that's because of trust.
Did the guy later marry her or they are still dating?

You are not allowed to carry a prescription drug on board a plane for someone else.

But, you are totally fine if the prescriptions are in your name and the name on the prescription or Doctor’s note matches the name on your traveling documents.

Most licensed Pharmacists or Doctors in Nigeria would understand your situation and put the prescription or letter following the drugs in your name.

It's very simple, get a clear doctor prescription of the total quantity of the ARV drug/drugs you are travelling with. It c'd be for 3months, 6months, 9months or 1year.

NOTE: oyibos are not f**lish if you go/arrive at the Airport with more than the prescribed quantity, the drugs will be seized, for those that want to travel with Large quantity to sell over there.

He had already started treatment here in Nigeria. I reached out to the facility treating and they were the ones who sent me the drugs.
I am just at a loss as to how to get them to him.

Do you have any support group you could recommend he reach out to please.


Let him contact Blackcap Toronto ,will not say more than that

Are they called drugs or medications in Canada. Hope you're giving it the right name. In some climes like UK, drugs are hard substances which are illegal. You could have to do some explanations by just calling a paracetamol a drug

Only the dumb believe this BS story. How did your imaginary brother get the medicines he is using now? either he took it with him in which case it is him you should ask or he obtained them in canada in which case why does he need you to bring them? The truth is there is no brother with HIV.

Sounds to me like you have HIV and you want to know how you can travel abroad with your medication.



“Is HIV treatment covered in Canada?
Full coverage of ARV medication is offered at no cost, regardless of age or income. There is no deductible or co-payment. HIV medications are offered through the Exceptional Drug Status [EDS] Program.”

Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO)

Muhammed Airport Rd, Ikeja, Lagos 102214, Lagos

Their office is just after the international flyover bridge Ambode built. When you enter the gate, you drive down the road, after DHL office, you will see the main Nahco gate and their warehouse on your left. Just talk to an agent sending goods to your brothers province.

Again, it's a faceless forum, I don't owe you the responsibility to educate you, that's for your parents, teachers to do..if they don't do it, I am sorry, I can't help you.
