Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I would think that typing pre-op would definitely cover both AIDS and HIV...the staff would be at great risk to work on you with either if they didn't take the propper precautions....but relax...I'm sure you will be fine. good luck with everything!
