All American travel restrictions relating to HIV status were lifted in January 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Customs regulations require people entering with prescription medication like antiretroviral drugs to carry a doctor\u2019s certificate in English, stating that the drugs are required to treat a personal condition. This requirement applies to all prescription drugs, not just HIV treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Medication should always be carried in hand luggage, as checked luggage may be delayed or get lost. If you are carrying-on liquid medication exceeding 3 ounces \/ 100 ml, you must declare it at the checkpoint for inspection.<\/p>\n<p>As for what time to take your medication, this really depends on which ARVs you are taking.
