Botox Cosmetic Use with Long-term Illness or Medical Condition

Anna1
Are there any illnesses or medical conditions that would make Botox Cosmetic unsafe to use? Is it safe to use Botox if you have a long-term illness like cancer or HIV? What about if you have a medical condition (I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Type 3, a genetic disorder)?
