Clients of Fresh Cosmetic Clinic in Sydney CBD urged to get tested for blood-borne viruses by NSW Health
ABCPatients who underwent invasive procedures at a Sydney CBD cosmetic clinic have been told to get tested for blood-borne viruses due to infection control breaches. After being alerted by HCCC, NSW Health's South Eastern Sydney Local Health District Public Health Unit inspected the clinic last week and concluded there was a risk to clients of exposure to blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV. Patients urged not to wait for symptoms South Eastern Sydney Local Health District Public Health Unit director Vicky Sheppeard said clients may not show signs of infection immediately and should act to get tested. Fresh Cosmetic Clinic clients can contact the Health Care Complaints Commission on [email protected] or contact their local public health unit on 1300 066 055 for more information on blood-borne viruses.
