photoI'm a gay man living in Haringey, about to become a full-time student at the ripe old age of 47 to study Fine Art at London Metropolitan University. I live with my partner & Dog. I'm looking to make new friends with similar interests, and perhaps introduce me to some new areas in life which have so far passed me by! Oh yes, I'm +ve since 1991.

A friend & myself are planning a visit to the states in the next couple of months - a week in NY, then an RV to explore further afield. We obviously need to take our HIV Meds with us. Given their policy on HIV+ travelers, has anybody experienced any problems at passport control? What did you do with your Meds? Were they found? What happened?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

For Miles, 40, his motivation to visit the US was work. He had been with his company for a year, and had not told his colleagues he was HIV+, when he was asked to spend four days working on a big project at the company's New York office.

'Initially I was really excited,' he says, but his feelings soon turned to fear. He didn't know anyone in New York who he could post his medication to, and it was too late to apply for a visa.

'The stress and anxiety levels were extremely high,' he says. 'Plus everybody was saying ‘It's not long before you go. Are you excited?' So I had to fake my enthusiasm.'

He ended up concealing his orange antiretrovirals in a cod liver oil container, packing just enough for the trip in his hand luggage. It's an experience that he says clouded the rest of his time there.
