Health officials are investigating after two people who had"vampire facials" last year have recently been diagnosed with HIV.The spa closed in September last year after an inspection found unsafe practices that could have spread blood-borne infections, such as HIV, to clients.
The New Mexico Department of Health is offering free and confidential testing for HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C for any clients who received injection-related procedures there between May and September 2018.Kathy Kunkel, the department's cabinet secretary, said:"While over 100 VIP Spa clients have already been tested, NMDOH is reaching out to ensure that testing and counselling services are available for individuals who received injection related services at the VIP Spa.
Free testing services are being provided at South Valley Health Commons and Casa de Salud Family Medical Office, both in Albuquerque.
people on here are really harsh and cruel. I'd never ridicule someone for getting a life changing disease through a needless procedure, think of it happened to you. CRUEL HIV
vampire facials are supposed to be done with your own blood, the clinic must have used the same equipment (vials, needles, centrifuges etc) for each client. cross contamination wreckless criminal cosmetic

Top tip: If you see some scumbag celebrity advertising some random and weird 'beauty treatment', hang back before having it done, there's a good chance it's yet more witch doctor, new age bullsh*t that will destroy your health.
