The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) has warned of HIV risk with vampire facial — a platelet-rich plasma microneedling procedure — that has led three women to be diagnosed with HIV at an unlicensed medical spa in the United States’ New Mexico. The investigative report believes it to be the first documented case of people contracting the virus through the cosmetic procedure, popularised by reality TV celebrity Kim Kardashian.
The April 25 report stated,”HIV transmitted through cosmetic injection services via contaminated blood has not been previously documented”.
