As a tourist visiting the UAE, am I allowed to carry my HIV medication?

Dear Sir/Madam,

As a tourist visiting the UAE for travel and tourism purposes for only 4 days, am I allowed to carry my HIV medication?

After the UAE, I will be traveling to India for 20 days, so I will have medication for a total of 26 days with me when I enter the UAE.

How can I travel and enter?

Dear Questioner,

The UAE discourages travelers from bringing HIV medication for personal use.

There's a chance of facing scrutiny.

If you need further clarification, you may contact me.
