AlexFUEHELP Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hello Everybody, i hope i can get some help on here as I’m struggling to find a clinic that will accept me as I am HIV positive.

Senior Member gillenator Posted October 19, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2018 So you have been refused by some clinics for the procedure? If so, that's unfortunate because there are obvious precautionary measures that can be taken to protect the staff and I would think most clinics would accept your case.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted October 19, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2018 The fact that you are HIV should not be an issue as long as you document it at the time of the consultation. You will probably be given a form to fill out when you first arrive at the clinic. This will be reviewed by everyone including the Doctor and clinical staff. That being said, I would encourage you to start reviewing before and after photos of the practices you are considering. Visit with ones that you feel show the most natural results and schedule appointments. Do your homework and then make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it helps, good luck.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Certain states have specific laws about refusing to treat HIV patients. In reality all clinics are supposed to use universal precautions and should be performing the surgeries the same on all patients. Whether they have HIV. Hepatitis or some other undiagnosed condition.
