Actually, this woman is correct. I have diabetes and nose and cartilage piercings STILL aren’t healed. It’s the same with all diseases that cause problems with your immune system.

I think you are all overreacting. She probably is uneducated, but not everyone comes across HIV/AIDS in their normal day.

She provided an example of how the healing process can be slowed down, and even Dr B K Tee said that the healing process can become slower.

I think it was just a misunderstanding.

Ed: Anyone working in the field of tattooing or piercing should be trained around blood borne viruses. To have someone employed in that field who is ignorant of those issues is highly unprofessional at the very least.

This woman has shown herself to be totally uneducated by referring to this gentleman has having AIDS instead of HIV. In addition, being HIV+ has no bearing on any so called ‘healing process’

This business should be black-banned.

Sorry to hear that John.

It is an assumption made on you, without any facts. Even if you were not sure you would ask for a letter from a doctor. I can only conclude the clinic is discriminating. Sounds like the Department of Health should investigate also.
