So bro, they're doing some crazy shit just to stay young
00:03
nowadays. Huh? I mean the do the Botox and all
00:07
that is out of control like,
00:09
I don't know. I mean we all have that thea that
00:12
can't make facial expressions.
00:13
Right? Brother. She takes that weekly trip to TJ or
00:16
monthly. I don't know.
00:17
And and in is not but any who vampire facials have
00:23
you heard of the vampire facials?
00:24
No. What is that?
00:26
So it involves drawing a person's blood.
00:29
So basically they draw a person's blood and they take the platelets
00:34
and inject them back into their face so it can help rejuvenate
00:39
the skin. It's making headlines again because three women likely got
00:44
HIV from vampire facials at an unlicensed spa in New Mexico.
00:51
Mhm. The, the department of health began investigating the clinic
00:56
in New Mexico, the unlicensed clinic in 2018 after two women
01:01
reported getting HIV with no other risk factors.
01:05
Yep. But they use their own,
01:09

01:11

look at how they inject the,
01:14
the so they're injecting your face with your own blood.
01:16
Maybe the, the needles were not clean or sterilized or no
01:21
say. But that happens.
01:23
The clinic closed down that year and the former owner is serving
01:27
time in prison for practicing medicine without a license.
01:30
The investigation found that the clinic may have reused ding ding ding
01:36
disposable equipment like needles or blood vials.
01:39
This is the first time HIV transmission has been associated with cosmetic
01:45
injections. Oh, see,
01:47
remember when Kim Kardashian made vampire facial super popular when she posted
01:52
about them on IG,
01:54
she later said she regretted it though.
01:57
Calling them super painful.
02:00
People do the wildest thing.
02:01
Sometimes I know someone very clo who was very close to me
02:07
that got one and now I'm scared to have
02:10
HIV, but I'm just,
02:13
I'm just kidding. I'm just,
02:16
I'm joking guys, I'm joking.
02:18
But any who let's move on.
