Question

Are there risks from injecting saline?

Are there any risks when you are HIV positive to infuse sterile saline in your scrotum, using sterile administration set and butterfly needle?

Answer

Any injection can be a potential route of infection. The information at this link emphasises these risks, including gangrene and amputation.

HIV status would only probably be relevant if your CD4 count is very low.
