HI Neta
. There is no risk in tourist areas of the central highlands (e.g., Lake Atitlan, Panajachel, Antigua, and Chichicastenango).
So i think you can stop taking the pills
but evening ,nighttime and Daytime (malaria)insect precautions are recommended(dengue fever
In Guatemala there is risk (predominantly P. vivax
which is not life treatening but
) can persist in the liver and cause relapses for as long as 4 years or more after departure from the malarious areas. Travelers to malarious areas should be alerted to this risk and, if they have malaria symptoms after leaving a malarious area, they should be advised to report their travel history and the possibility of malaria to a physician as soon as possible (9).
