Can people with HIV (undetectable) receive hair transplant and PRP injection?

April 9, 2017
Asked By:aeldama in United Kingdom, GB

Hi, I got infected with HIV 2 years ago and 3 months after that I have been undetectable and very healthy while I am on my medication (Truvada(PrEP) & Dolutegravir). I am concerned if I can receive hair transplant because of my HIV status. Because on the Internet, some people said yes some said no. I am also concerned about whether I can receive PRP injection on my head with the transplant as a whole treatment.
