 AB    The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has imparted a number of concerns
       involving patient care and management as well as health care worker
       safety upon most surgical practices. Although these concerns are not
       often discussed in the context of facial plastic surgery (or
       particularly cosmetic surgery), they remain important issues. These
       issues are discussed with respect to public health policy, ethics and
       legality. The pathophysiological considerations for decision-making and
       care for HIV disease in the facial plastic surgery practice are
       addressed.
