I have HIV, and I would like to know what impact this might have on gynecomastia surgery?

Generally, in patients who are HIV positive, but otherwise healthy, there is no significant impact on the procedure or recovery, and wound healing is normal afterwards.  There's no significant increase in wound infections or other complications.  If you have other issues related to your HIV, then that would need to be addressed specifically.
