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?

Yes, facials, of blood! OK, none of this appeals to any normal person, with the notable exception of Peter Thiel, so why is it on the front page of SoylentNews? Editores! We have a cred to uphold, an authoritiy as a reliable source of not bullshit news! And you give us this? And the White Supers submission? And the Vax sub that was actually an anti-vax sub? I am beginning to believe that our editors are not capable of detecting dog-whistle alt-right shit. There have been several examples of late, where the sub was pure right wing fascist propaganda, and the Eds fell for it, hook, line and sinker. We trust you, EDs, you are the soul of SoylentNews. Do not make me think that you are either stupid, or alt-right. It will make me submit more submissions, in either case. But do try to keep up appearances. And janrinok still has not responded to my challenge. He Must Know that he is wrong, a knave, and a poltroon.

Are you calling Peter Thiel "normal"?

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.

I'm with you on the white minority story, it doesn't matter at all, but the other two are useful. This one is entertaining, and the vaccine one is a good example of why herd immunity matters even in the absence of immunocompromised folk.
