To stay healthy during your trip do...

• Wash your hands often with soap and water or, if hands are not visibly soiled, use a waterless, alcohol-based hand rub to remove potentially infectious materials from your skin and help prevent disease transmission
• Drink only bottled or boiled water, or carbonated (bubbly) drinks in cans or bottles. Avoid tap water, fountain drinks, and ice cubes
• Take your malaria prevention medication before, during, and after travel, as directed
• To prevent fungal and parasitic infections, keep feet clean and dry, and do not go barefoot, even on beaches
• Be sensible with alcohol
• Always use latex condoms to reduce the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases
• Protect yourself from mosquito insect bites:
o Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats when outdoors
o Use insect repellents
o If no screening or air conditioning is available: use a pyrethroid-containing spray in living and sleeping areas during evening and night-time hours; sleep under bed nets, preferably insecticide-treated ones
