Tonsillectomy in HIV+ Adults , Children/Adolescents

  • 1.  Tonsillectomy in HIV+ Adults , Children/Adolescents

    Posted 02-08-2022 10:56


    My questions, after only seeing adults and not encountering this situation in the past...1).  Are there any negative or positive implications (short or long term)  for HIV* adults who have undergone tonsillectomy? 
    2). For HIV+ children/adolescents?
    ... and finally, 
    3). Does having had a tonsillectomy make an individual MORE... or LESS at risk for acquiring HIV during oral sex? Or is it not significant
