Question

Can I travel with meds out to the original bottle?

If I am travelling for 3-4 days, is it safe to keep HIV meds for 3-4 days without bottle?

I feel uncomfortable travelling with bottle as I am travelling with friends, they don’t know about my status.

Hi there

Many people use a pill box which involves meds being in a different container for a week and this is not a problem.

If you don’t want to travel with the large bottle, perhaps look for something smaller that can keep your meds together while you are away.

It is fine to do this.

If the main bottle includes something to absorb moisture, you could include this in the smaller travel bottle or box.
