Four Women Contract HIV from 'Vampire Facials' at Unlicensed Spa
Apr 25, 2024, 08:06 PM
Four women were likely infected with HIV after receiving 'vampire facials' at an unlicensed New Mexico spa, according to a CDC report. This marks the first known cases of HIV transmission through nonsterile cosmetic injections. The procedure, popularized by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, involves drawing blood, processing it, and reinjecting it into the face. The CDC noted that the injections were administered by individuals who were unlicensed or untrained, in non-clinical settings such as homes or spas.
