HIV Outbreak Triggers Investigation into 'Vampire Facial' Spa

The New Mexico Department of Health is urging former customers of the now-defunct VIP Beauty Salon and Spa in Albuquerque to get tested for HIV and other bloodborne infections. Health officials have identified several new cases of HIV this year tied to services provided by the spa, including vampire facials. The spa was shut down in 2018 over unsafe practices that exposed customers to these infections. The owner of the spa pleaded guilty to practicing medicine without a license. Health officials are advising all former customers to seek HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C lab testing, even if they previously tested negative. Walk-in testing events have been arranged, and free and confidential testing is available at public health offices in New Mexico.
