HIV and hepatitis B warning after investigators raid cosmetic clinic

The HCCC has advised the clinic's patients to seek bloodborne virus testing from a GP.

Patients are at risk of HIV and hepatitis B due to poor hygiene practices at a cosmetic clinic where unregistered staff allegedly performed cosmetic surgeries, the NSW regulator warns.

The Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) is urging patients who received breast implants, facial or nasal line carving and other invasive procedures at the Fresh Cosmetic Clinic to consult their GP for bloodborne virus testing.
