Correct answer: DIndividualise vaccines and antimalarial interactions and carry sufficient ART

The best answer is “Individualise vaccines and antimalarial interactions and carry sufficient ART”. Well-controlled HIV permits many standard travel interventions, but live-vaccine decisions remain individualised and antiretroviral interactions, documentation and an additional medicine supply must be planned. Pre-travel care for people with HIV includes immune status, vaccine safety, sufficient ART supply, documentation and interaction checks with antimalarials and other travel medicines.
