• HIV infection is spread through sexual intercourse or infected blood or blood products (e.g. through blood transfusions or the use of blood contaminated instruments such as intravenous needles). 

• Lyme disease is transmitted to humans from infected ticks, with animals such as rodents, dogs, deers and birds being responisble for spreading the tick over wide areas.  Symptoms after being bitten can include a rash, body aches and more rarely neurological ailments such as facial palsy and meningitis.  The risk to travellers is highest in the temperate areas in North America including the east coastal states, Europe and Scandanavia.  Avoidance of tick bites where possible is recommended.

There is a minimal risk of Malaria in most districts throughout the year, however the highest risk is in the south-east of the country. Malaria tablets are strongly advised for high risk areas.

Mosquito bites should be avoided whenever possible.
