Mate wants to know, although he was snipped when married and later tested poz can he breed if not on meds? Is precum enough to do the deed? Honestly, I don't know what to tell him.

Being "snipped" just eliminates the sperm in his semen....Semen will carry the HIV and yes pre-cum can infect someone.

To expand on Marlin's answer above: Assuming by "snipped" you mean a vasectomy, yes, it's still possible for an infectious HIV+ man who's had one to infect someone else.

HIV is found in bodily fluids; it's not restricted to being inside particular kinds of cells (like sperm cells). It uses cells for replication, but otherwise the viral particles exist in the fluids (including semen, which is produced in the prostate and seminal vesicles). Because semen production is "downstream" from the testicles (where sperm are produced), ejaculate can contain HIV even if no sperm are entering the seminal pathway upstream.
