Want to get plastic surgery.
« on: July 23, 2024, 12:32:59 pm »
Hey everyone,

I don't know if anyone has an answer to this but I don't know where else to ask. I currently live in Thailand and am considering getting plastic surgery. The last time I was here I wanted to get Lasik and they said they'll test for HIV and I backed out. I'm very scared of being exposed here and being ostracized. I went to Korea last year and told them and pretty much every clinic said no.

Does anyone know of clinics here that are okay operating on HIV patients? I'm afraid to ask and tell them my status. Or anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you!

You live here, so I suppose you see a doctor for HIV treatment. You could ask him/her for advise on how to deal with this and referrals.
Or you could contact Pulse or Glove (HIV) clinics and ask them how to go about it.
Or you could disclose your status to health professionals.
