HIV Outbreak Traced to New Mexico Spa's "Vampire Facial"

Another case of HIV has been linked to a vampire facial treatment offered at a now-closed medical spa in New Mexico. The VIP Beauty Salon and Spa in Albuquerque had previously closed in 2018 after two clients tested positive for HIV following the facials. In March, another former customer tested positive for the virus, bringing the total number of HIV infections connected to the spa to five. Health officials are urging former clients to get tested for blood-borne infections, even if they initially tested negative. The owner of the spa has pleaded guilty to practicing medicine without a license and has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison.

Tech billionaire swaps blood with son and father in anti-aging quest

Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson spent $2 million a year on anti-aging treatments, including blood transfusions from young donors. He recently underwent a multigenerational plasma exchange with his 17-year-old son and 70-year-old father at a medical spa in Texas. The FDA advises against infusing young blood for anti-aging purposes, but Johnson's medical team approved the procedure as a possible treatment for cognitive decline. Johnson claims to have the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old.

Tech Mogul Infuses Himself with Son's Blood in Quest for Eternal Youth

Bryan Johnson, a 45-year-old biotech founder, has infused himself with blood plasma from his 17-year-old son in a bid to slow down his aging process. Johnson, who spends at least $2 million per year on anti-aging, has started a program called "Project Blueprint" that includes strict dietary guidelines, a rigid sleep and exercise schedule, frequent medical exams, and following the advice of a 29-year-old doctor. Johnson's latest venture involves getting blood plasma from his son, which he hopes will help him stay young forever, though the practice is scientifically unproven and could have dangerous side effects.
