A beauty salon in the United States sounded the alarm bell for us, and the "vampire mask" made Americans taste the pain, and many people were diagnosed with AIDS because of this beauty program.
AIDS is not far away from us, there are not a few AIDS patients on the mainland, and even if you are well, you may be infected.
How does the "vampire mask" make people infected with AIDS, and how can AIDS be prevented?
All statements in this article are based on reliable information, and the sources are detailed at the end of the article
The "Vampire Mask" infected five people with HIV
Everyone has a love for beauty, but if you tell you that in order to make yourself beautiful, you need to prick your face with a needle and put your own blood out?
In the first few years of its operation, five customers of a beauty salon in New Mexico were confirmed to be infected with HIV, which is what we call AIDS every day.
The first problem was discovered by a 40-year-old American woman who had undergone a "vampire mask" and other beauty procedures at the salon in 2018, and was found to have AIDS during a subsequent check-up, which made her feel very incredible.
Because this woman does not have a disordered private life, she has only one partner, and this partner is not infected, she does not smoke contraband, and she has not had a major illness that requires blood injections over the years, so she has almost no risk of infection.
So she began to think about it carefully, and finally remembered that she had done microneedling cosmetic surgery at a beauty salon, which is the "vampire mask" mentioned above, and she was sure that there was a problem with the needles she had been exposed to at that time, and it must have been infected with AIDS in this beauty salon.
When it comes to microneedling cosmetic surgery, for those who don't understand, this kind of surgery is actually to suck out a part of the blood, and then inject back the plasma that is good for the skin, according to the explanation of the beauty salon, so that the beauty can make your skin smoother and look younger.
The infected woman quickly found the local police station, and after some explanations, the police launched an investigation into the beauty salon, and it was shocking that the store did not even have a business license, and it was terrifying that such a store dared to use needles in the faces of customers.
The investigation team also found that the store poses a huge threat to human health, with needles and tubes used by customers being thrown everywhere, and that these used syringes are likely to be "reused" by unscrupulous merchants, and a shocking scene was also found in the store's refrigerator.
Not only did the refrigerator store uneaten food, but also found bags of blood without any labeling, and it was not known whose it belonged to or what it was used for, and this is not over, it stands to reason that it is best to do this kind of cosmetic surgery in a sterile environment, otherwise there will be a risk of infection.
Apparently the store didn't care about this happening, because the whole store didn't even have a disinfection device, and it was shocking to say that there were no accidents in this situation, and under the police tracked down, only one woman in the store tested positive for HIV.
As of 2023, a total of five people have been tested for HIV because they have made a "vampire mask" in this store, and the strains of several people are very similar, so it can be speculated that there is a high probability that it is the same source of infection.
This incident has also sounded a wake-up call for us not to think that HIV is a problem far away from us, in fact, this disease is not uncommon in China.
We cannot sit idly by
HIV is a very terrible disease, there is no cure for the current medical conditions, and the fatality rate is extremely high, and the transmission route is also very wide, it is very likely to be infected if you have sex with the patient or remove his blood, and the microneedling surgery in the beauty salon is not up to standard, and all people who do the same surgery are at risk of infection.
In addition to microneedling, all items that can see blood in beauty salons have great risks, and tattoos in addition to beauty also have the probability of making people sick, but in the final analysis, the health and safety of these businesses are not in place, and disposable syringes are not processed in accordance with the standard process.
The most terrifying thing about AIDS is that it has a very long incubation period, as short as seven or eight years, as long as more than ten years, after the virus enters the human body, it will destroy the body's immune system little by little, causing various complications, and eventually death.
According to relevant statistics, there were more than 900,000 AIDS patients in the mainland in 2019, and by 2021, the number of patients has exceeded 1.1 million, which is shocking.
And the age distribution is very wide, most of the patients are over 50 years old, followed by the adolescent student group, it can be said that if you don't pay attention to it, this number will increase, and if there is an accident similar to the beauty salon, we are also likely to get sick without knowing it.
Where to stop HIV/AIDS?
According to relevant data, teenagers are more likely to become new AIDS victims, and schools have become a place for AIDS transmission, whether it is for social responsibility or for the health of their children, it is important to know where the problems of children are now, so as to avoid tragedy.
The reason why they are called teenagers is because these children are in adolescence, and children at this stage are full of curiosity about the opposite sex, and Chinese education is too subtle and lacks relevant education, so some children can't control their curiosity after reaching a certain age, so they embark on a road of no return.
They explore with curiosity, but they don't know how to protect themselves in the process of exploration, and then they do some very dangerous things, which leads them to get AIDS, and the most terrifying thing is that they don't even know that there is a safety risk when they do these things.
Therefore, many universities now do relevant education and organize students to carry out activities to publicize, but children are not very interested in this aspect, and they have a fluke mentality about the disease, which also leads to their inability to understand how dangerous AIDS is.
In addition, there are some ill-intentioned people who take advantage of teenagers' curiosity about these things and use the Internet to guide children to make incorrect choices, and there is a possibility that multiple people may be infected during this period, so be sure to tell your children how to avoid this kind of thing and take remedial measures quickly.
Only in this way can we avoid this terrible contagion, keep ourselves clean, and take protective measures so that the tragedy does not happen to us.
