A new HIV case has been linked to a “vampire facial” at an Albuquerque spa that closed in 2018, the New Mexico Department of Health said this week
The only HIV risk that the 2023 patient reported was a “vampire facial” at VIP Beauty Salon and Spa in 2018. Two cases of HIV were previously linked to injection-related procedures at the spa in 2019, the department said. The Department of Health said it has 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.
Laura Parajon, Department of Health deputy secretary, said in a news release. The spa closed in 2018 after a state inspection found unsafe practices that could spread blood-borne infections to clients. 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.
