Can HIV Positive (HIV+) or Hepatitis patients undergo aesthetic surgery?

Yes, you can. However, you must be receiving regular treatment after diagnosis and officially document with tests that your viral load in the blood (HIV-RNA via PCR) is at an undetectable level before surgery.

Additionally, your blood values must meet the criteria for receiving anesthesia and undergoing surgery, just like a normal patient.
