Hello

Welcome to HCM.
You should start taking 400 mg of Plaquenil once a week starting at least one week before travel to Honduras. You should continue taking the same dose weekly as long as you stay there and for 4 weeks after leaving Honduras.
You should also adopt measures to avoid mosquito bites while you are there.
I am available if you have more queries.
Take Care and have a nice trip
