Vampire facials carried out at an unlicenced spa in New Mexico left clients with HIV, marking the first time contaminated blood has been transmitted through a cosmetic procedure. The woman said she had no recent blood transfusions, no injection drug use and no sexual contact with anyone other than her partner, who received a negative HIV test result. "Incomplete spa client records posed a substantial challenge during this investigation, necessitating a large-scale outreach approach to identify potential cases," the authors of the study wrote.
