Travel Health

Travelling to different climates and environments abroad can expose you to disease and health risks. You should be aware of the dangers and how to stay healthy.

Diseases which aren’t present in the UK such as yellow fever, malaria, rabies and dengue fever are common in some areas of the world.

Vaccinations and immunisations

Visit your GP as soon as possible to check if you need any vaccinations or other preventive measures (such as malaria tablets).

Remember, these treatments aren’t usually available as NHS prescriptions.

General travel health tips

You should also make extra preparations if you have an existing medical condition.

take out adequate travel insurance or you could face a huge medical bill if you fall ill and need treatment
get a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to entitle you to free or discounted healthcare in European countries
check the health section of our country travel advice before you travel
drink plenty of water in hot climates to avoid dehydration
be safe in the sun – use a high-factor sunscreen and avoid excessive sunbathing between 11am – 3pm
find out the local emergency services numbers and the number of the local hospital
practice safe sex – take condoms with you as quality varies in different countries. HIV and Aids, and other sexually transmitted diseases can be caught worldwide.
Long-distance journeys
don’t wear tight clothing on long-distance journeys
do regular stretching exercises such as flexing and extending your ankles to avoid circulation problems
walk round at regular intervals on long flights
drink plenty of water on flights and avoid drinking too much alcohol.
Consult your doctor before long-distance travel if you:
are pregnant or have given birth in the last 6 months
have a history of blood disorders, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
are taking hormonal medication (including the contraceptive pill)
have cancer, heart problems or have recently had surgery.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition

ensure your medication is legal in the country you are visiting – the British Embassy can advise you

take the same precautions you normally would in the UK if you weren’t going to be at home for a while
if you suffer from a mental illness you should be aware that facilities and local attitudes to mental health problems may differ from those in the UK. Do some research before you go.

HIV and AIDs

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is present worldwide. It is caused by the virus known as Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV). There is not a vaccine or cure for either, and people with HIV remain infected all their lives.

HIV/ AIDS can be contracted through:
unprotected sex with an infected person, who may not know they are infected
the use of infected syringes, medical and dental instruments or anything else that punctures the skin, such as tattooing needles
transfusions of HIV infected blood
passing from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth or breast-feeding.

It cannot be passed on through everyday social contact, insect bites or dirty food and crockery. Nor can it be passed on through kissing, coughing and sneezing.

Protecting yourself against HIV/AIDS
ensure you use condoms with new sexual partners. It is advisable to pack your own as standards may differ from those in the UK or they may not readily be available
don’t share needles and syringes
be aware that some countries do not have the same medical standards as the UK. Equipment may not be adequately sterilised, nor blood screened for HIV and hepatitis B or C
if you require self-administered injections, take an adequate supply of your own needles
don’t have a tattoo, acupuncture treatment or body piercing unless you can be sure the equipment is sterile.

Some countries have introduced HIV antibody testing for some visitors, or require an HIV antibody test certificate. Check with the relevant Embassy (see right for a search facility) before you travel.

If you need to take HIV/ AIDS related medications with you, check it’s legal in the country you’re visiting. It’s best to pack it in your hand luggage and take a letter from your GP with you.

The relevant embassy and your local GP will provide you with more information.

Malaria

Malaria is a major health problem in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. It is spread by the bites of infected mosquitoes.

Some forms can be fatal, others produce a high fever and may lead to kidney, liver, brain and blood complications.

Make sure that you:
Tell your doctor which countries and regions you will be visiting. Malaria parasites are resistant to different types of malaria tablet in different countries, so you need to be sure you’re taking the right ones
Ask your doctor when you should start taking the medication and how long you should take it for. It is essential that you complete the course of tablets
Avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellent. Repellent containing DEET is particularly effective
Keep your arms and legs covered after sunset
Ensure the area where you are sleeping is properly screened and air conditioned if possible. Use a ‘knockdown’ spray to kill any mosquitoes
Sleep under an insecticide impregnated mosquito net
