'Vampire facials' lead to women catching HIV; CDC reports cases of transmission via cosmetic procedures

Three women contracted HIV after "vampire facial" treatments at an unlicensed New Mexico spa, marking the first known cases through cosmetic needle procedures, stated federal health officials.
The clinic reused disposable equipment meant for single-use between 2018 and 2023, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The spa shuttered in 2018 after being investigated by the New Mexico Department of Health due to negligence in infection control, leading to HIV infections in multiple clients.
