* Look healthy. Travelers who appear to be ill are likely to be targeted for indepth questioning or inspections.

* Be discreet and polite,.Don't draw any undue attention to yourself, that could cause customs officials to pull you aside.

* Don't advertise the fact that you're HIV-positive. It pains me to have to give that kind of advice,but you might not want to wear a PLWHA t-shirt.

* Keep your anti-HIV medications in their original bottles, and do not attempt to hide the containers. If you're hiding them, customs officials may think they contain contraband and may hold you to verify that they are permitted into the country.
