You can but you absolutely shouldn't. Your body is already working overtime trying to get rid of the infection and it wouldn't be able to handle a new piercing. The infection could get worse and the piercing would take longer to heal.

A real professional body piercer wouldn't do any form of piercing lip or otherwise if you are fighting and infection. A gum infection is due to poor oral care, the chances of a secondary infection setting into the new piercing is very high. Get your infection under control and healed then consider a piercing once your dentist and doctor say it's safe to proceed.
