Question

Can laser hair removal be used by someone on HIV meds?

I am thinking of getting some laser hair removal and would like to see if there is any medical reason why this may not be advisable? I ask as I have read that people on some medication (eg vitamin A for example) should not have it. Many thanks for your advice. I am on Truvada, atazanavir & ritonavir and tolerating this combo well.

Answer

I can;t find any medical reports to suggest that laser hair removal interferes with ARV.

For information see this recent question.

Great that your treatment is going well.
