A member asked:
If i am hiv positive is it possible for me to circumscise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: In the 2020's, there is drug treatment for HIV that does a good job in suppressing viruses and preventing infections. In this era, an HIV-infected person can be either the circumcisor (for example, a doctor) or the circumcisee (a patient), or both. That said, humans are fine the way they are born, and removing a normal foreskin should not be taken lightly. Careful thought is recommended.
