Botox Parties

I went to a botox party (is my first time getting botox) I didnt pay attention if a new viral was used (it was done by a very well know dermatologist) what is the risks of contracting HIV due to botox injections? Is there any cases of contamination via botox?

For one, even if a multidose vial was being used, there still would be no risk.

A reputable doctor is not going to do ANYTHING other than follow proper policies and protocols when it came to something like this.  This is an irrational worry.

You would never get infected this way...under any circumstance.
