Two people diagnosed HIV positive after receiving 'vampire facial' in New Mexico

At least two clients of a shuttered New Mexico day spa tested HIV positive, a state health official said, possibly from receiving a "vampire facial."

The two people were infected at VIP Spa in Albuquerque between May and September 2018, according to the New Mexico Department of Health.

The infections came via "injection related procedures," state regulators said in a statement. The health department did not elaborate.

But NBC affiliate KOB reported that the procedure in question is the so-called "vampire facial" — when blood is drawn from a client's body and then re-injected into his or her face.

State health officials fear there might be more people who could test positive for HIV, and hepatitis B and C.

So, slept with any mortals/vessels lately?

    Nah he thinks he is taking the high road by not engaging you. It is pretty sad they refuse to address the very obvious bias that goes on. Maybe one day they'll wake up, but so far the clueless racist postings by "totally not racists" is astounding.

    You should actually be less antagonistic and over-the-top, it only gives them fuel for "muh persecution." Not that you shouldn't address their bullshit each and every time, but if you tone down the rhetoric you might get wider support.

    Human politics, I hate it myself and try to live a good hermit life; but if you want to affect society you have to play those games at least somewhat.

    Please don't rant about how my advice is bad and the knaves deserve all the harsh words, that isn't my point.
