Three Women Contract HIV from Vampire Facials at Unlicensed New Mexico Spa
Apr 26, 2024, 04:00 PM
Three women have likely contracted HIV from receiving 'vampire facials' at an unlicensed New Mexico spa, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported. This marks the first documented cases of HIV transmission through cosmetic injections. The procedure, popularized by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, involves drawing blood from a person, processing it, and then re-injecting it into the facial skin. The CDC has confirmed that the infections are linked to nonsterile practices at the spa.
