Asked By:heidjsbjak in Scotland, United Kingdom

I’m interested in having a tummy tuck as well as a few other procedures but a couple of enquiries I’ve made have turned me down due to HIV status even though it is well controlled and all levels are good. So my question is, by law do I have to declare my status?
