Answer
No, temperature in a counrty does not directly affect your HIV health.
Warmer climates tend to make me feel better – England has terrible wether and I’d feel a lot better if we had more sunshine.
Extreme heat and cold may mean you need to look after yourself as appropriate.
Some hotter countries have different health issues but this is related more to each country than to just the temperature (ie for risk of malaria etc).
Hi Anita,
Its perfectly fine for people who are from countries where the temperature is high to come to countries where it can be cold.
Is it OK for people who are positive to visit countries where the temperature is less than 20?
