Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection - Surgery
There is no surgical treatment for HIV.
What to Think About
People with HIV may need surgery for other conditions. You can have surgery if you are HIV-positive. But you may have a more difficult time healing after surgery if you have a weakened immune system.
