ai ya, no taya for me biko,
thank you so much for your replies, they are really assuring.
my Mama na Iron lady(and a midwife), na she dey chose hospital,
but I've been informed that, they Doctors can be very discreet. My Doctor here advise me to informed the Doctor on arrival how far I've come
with my drugs, before registering.
No taya abeg, are you advising me to post my drugs to dhl office now, or it doesnt matter the quantity since the ban has been lifted.
thank you so much, really appreciate.

citadeledu:
my dear dont play a victim or feel like one,carry quite a handful ful of prescription,in your main luggage,

The united states just lifted the ban of positive travellers last year thats why the annual world aids confference has never been done in the us as half of attendees are positive people.

Hiv is really closer than we think,my brother is also positive but for 21 years now and he is still good and his viral load is below 1000 and cd4 is 650 ,Baby start your life over and imagine what impact you can make in the world,make an impact.


there is a conference in italy on june for positive people,friends and researcher .
To have more USA and Hiv travel info on countries u can visit with ARV or free medication visit www.hivtravel.org

thank you so much,
am really confident with all the information I've gathered here.
Just worried about quantity now.
Thank you so much.

@Gaby:
Hmmmm 7 days return ticket but you plan to stay more than 7 days. I'm sure you realise that you cannot get these drugs off the shelf in the US and you'd need a doctor's prescription to get them in the US. So, if you are just carrying drugs for 7days, make sure you budget for more in the US. Healthcare in the US na real empire, not cheap at all. Goodluck and I hope everything works out well for you.

thank you so much.
I've decided to go with 3months dosage, just worried about the quantity should am ask, since my visit is suppose to be for just a week.
Thank you so much for your advice, cant imagine paying $1,000 for a dose,
God bless you

@beepob
thank you so much for that document, you won't believe that I read the whole thing word by word!
Now am confident about travelling with my drugs, but the quantity is my fear, should am ask why I have excess of a 7 days' stock on me. What do you think? I learnt they are very expensive in US, I intend to go with a 3month's supply.
Any help will do,
Thank you so much.

@Delta007
Wao!
Thanks alot, good point about my pregnancy. Am actually entering with a 7days return ticket, thinking it will cover for my drugs.
Ur curiosity? Really have no idea, have been the most careful person U can think of. My advise to all is, this thing is closer to all than you ever imagine. My regret is d fact that I never had the Test all my till now, After been married for 4years.
@footrega
Tanx alot
@JerryAdams
That was really comprehensive!
Thank you so much for taking ur time to bring me this far,
God bless you.
Pls if am not asking for too much can you forward my email address to em so I can get to ask more? That is if they don't mind. gaby_lynn@yahoo.com 
Am almost certain they will like to help me out, as our society is a closely knitted relationship kind of, LOL
God bless you mightily.

According to the counselling I've had so far, once he is on the Meds, and Viral Load is dropt to undectable level(a level believed to be non infectible, ), he can remove the condom on the ovulation date, though taking the risk,
Pls consult your counsellor,

@geegee
thank you very much for your response, my dear the thing just dey oh,
my cd4 count does not qualify for drugs as well, but once pregnant it is mandatory to start the drug (PTMCT).
I am thinking it is safer in hand luggage, though I learnt that Obama has lifted up the ban on the restriction of HIV persons entering the US for whatever purpose. JUst dont want to be part of the experimental few.
@evilspirit
thank you so much, everything is ok for now.
once your husband trust and married you, whatever comes out of it is just distractions,
I cant explain how this happened, I've been married to him for 4years, though never had a Test (over confidence of my lifestyle? I guess) this is our first pregnancy.

Hi all, I have read this thread from begining, not knowing one day I will be digging it up for help,
friends, am here as a curent 2011 member,
I am calling on any HIV postive person that travel across the Nogerian border to enlighten me on how to cross with my Retroviral Drug in my Hand Luggage without any problem.
My family are based in the US am expecting, just got diagnose during Antenatal care with a high CD4 count, Mum is expecting me to come over for delivery.
Medicine has advanced, baby will be fine.
Problem is, can I cross into US with my drugs? If you are on one, then you know important it is not to miss the timing not to think of stopping the drugs, hoping to acquire on arrival which may be late.
Well, I am open for all the usuals on Nairaland,
Just looking for people like me to help me out.
Before I forget, Mum and family are not aware of this development,
Pls, Are there HIV + mothers who have travelled to the US to have their kids here? How is it like?
Do they discriminate?
Can they keep it away from family members?
NB,
I am happily married to a wonderful man who remains HIV- and has been my Rock, Father, Husband and all you can think of, extremely loving me unconditionally.
Thank you for reading my long story,
Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Hi NairaLanders,
I know this is my cross, but pls I need help here.
Mothers, Wives, Travellers, Doctors, and all knowledgeable individuals, try and drop a line or two,
Biko,
Cheers

@dancewith
thank you very much, that was very informative.
Sure it is been implemented? Just scared of having to register at the border into some everlasting Database.
I really wish one with experience can just post a line or two.
My destination is New York.
Thank you so much.

Obawunmi,
tanx alot,
Am actually a regular traveller, just got diagnosed and travelling next week.
Do U know any case where HIV persons are not allowed to travelled?
I googled and got confusing information on Border issues on prescription drugs which forbids this sort.
NairaLanders, your responses will be appreciated.
