Three women infected with HIV after getting ‘vampire facials’, CDC reports
Three women who had so-called “vampire facials” at a New Mexico spa appear to have been infected with HIV, marking the first cases of the disease being spread through cosmetic injection services, according to a CDC report.
In the summer of 2018, a woman in her 40s was told she was HIV positive, despite not being exposed to any known HIV risk factors — like injection drugs, blood transfusions, or sexual contact with someone who had tested positive for HIV.
The woman did, however, report that she had recently been exposed to needles during the vampire facial procedure.
The two other patients had received vampire facials in 2018.
