Protocol for surgery centers with HIV patients?

June 17, 2021
Asked By:FreeBritneyandMyAbs in Miami, Florida

Hi Real Self Doctors, I met a patient who has the same surgery date as me and they mentioned being HIV positive- though I know there is probably good reason not to worry about cross contamination in surgery (otherwise I don't think the surgery center would've accepted the patient) it does make me feel a bit anxious. What special protocols do surgeons put in place to keep patient safety in a case like this one?

Can I continue to have my BBL if I’m on antibiotics for a UTI?
Kenneth Hughes, MD says:

I would discuss this with your PS as he/she may have a policy to delay the surgery until the infection has resolved. Performing surgery on a patient with an existing infection can increase the risk of an infection developing at the surgical site.

How long after having covid 19 can I get lipo/BBL? Even though I'm vaccinated with no symptoms.
Zoran Potparic, MD says:

It seems to be acceptable to plan elective surgery like BBL 3 months or longer after COVID infection. Problem arises with possible anesthesia related lung complications, increased risks of blood clothing and number currently unknown factors. Hope this helps. Good luck.
