The Department of Health said it had reopened its investigation into the spa and is recommending former clients who received injection-related services - including vampire facials or Botox - be tested for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. "It's very important that we spread the word and remind people who received any kind of injection-related to services provided at the VIP Spa to come in for free and confidential testing," Dr. Laura Parajon, Department of Health deputy secretary, said in a news release.
As of July 5, the Department of Health identified additional HIV infections "with direct or indirect connection with services provided at the VIP Spa," it said, although it did not specify how many.
