I found out I was HIV positive 10 years ago from a blood transfusion and have been on ART since then with an undetectable viral load. Now I've been diagnosed with a left hernia that's causing really bad pain. How do I go about getting surgery for this? Are there any special precautions I should take because of my HIV status?
