What are the routes of transmission of AIDS? What are the initial symptoms of AIDS

Sihainet: AIDS is a problem that human beings cannot overcome in nearly half a century. At present, there is no cure method. We can only control it through expensive drugs. The incubation period of the disease is very long. It slowly erodes human immune cells until it dies. What are the initial symptoms of AIDS? What are the ways of AIDS transmission? Let's take a look at them together!

AIDS, known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is an infectious disease caused by HIV infection, which causes a large number of T lymphocyte damage and makes the human body lose its immune function. Therefore, after HIV infection, the human body is easy to be infected with various diseases, and may develop malignant tumors, with a high mortality. At present, there is no effective vaccine to prevent AIDS, the most important is to take preventive measures.

Ways of transmission of AIDS:

First, we should keep ourselves clean and maintain one-to-one sexual relationship (including male behavior).

With the increasingly open concept of sex, the occurrence of sexual relations has become more casual, some people have multiple sexual partners at the same time. A relatively stable sexual partner can reduce the risk of HIV infection, and also reduce the probability of HIV transmission. Before having sex, you can carry out relevant tests to protect yourself. According to the survey, men's behavior is more likely to be infected with HIV than heterosexual sexual behavior, so men's partners should pay more attention to prevention and protection.

Second, it is strictly prohibited to take drugs and avoid sharing syringes.

Resolutely resist drugs, and stop trying because of curiosity. When it is necessary to see a doctor and treat, choose a regular medical institution, and do not share syringes, infusion needles, needle knives and other devices that may cause HIV transmission with others.

Third, do not transfuse blood or use blood products without authorization, but use them under the guidance of doctors.

When donating blood for free, we should choose a regular hospital or institution, not privately participate in the sale of blood products, and avoid using unknown blood products. If blood transfusion is needed, we should go to a regular medical institution, and under the guidance of doctors, import or use the blood products provided by the blood Bank and tested.

Fourth, do not use or share toothbrush, razor, razor and other personal products.

When brushing and shaving, it may cause gum and skin damage and bleeding. If the partner sharing this product is HIV infected or carrier, there is a risk of HIV infection.

Fifth, condom use is one of the most effective measures to prevent STDs and AIDS in sexual life.

Condom use in sexual activity is highly recommended to avoid abandoning safety measures in pursuit of stimulation and pleasure.

Sixth, to avoid direct contact with AIDS patients' blood, semen, milk and other body fluids.

To strengthen self-protection awareness, especially medical workers who have more opportunities to contact with people with AIDS, we should avoid direct contact with HIV infected people or body fluids of people with HIV, in order to prevent infection.

Seventh, prevention of mother to child transmission.

Marriage check-up and pre pregnancy check-up can screen out whether they are HIV infected or carriers. By changing the reproductive plan and taking related drugs, mother to child transmission can be prevented.

Eighth, improve reproductive organ health.

For example, if the male foreskin is too long, it will create a good breeding environment for bacteria and viruses. Therefore, circumcision of adult male foreskin can effectively reduce the sexual transmission of HIV, human papillomavirus, etc.; regular cleaning of reproductive organs and necessary treatment can also reduce the probability of HIV transmission and infection.

In a word, it is very important to prevent AIDS correctly, but it is not necessary to panic about AIDS. If there are high-risk ways or suspicious symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. Once infected with AIDS, relevant treatment should be carried out in time.

Initial symptoms of AIDS

AIDS will experience acute HIV infection, asymptomatic HIV infection, pre AIDS and AIDS period.

A part of the patients with acute infection have symptoms similar to cold from 6 days to 6 weeks after HIV infection, such as fever, lymphadenopathy, pharyngitis, rash, myalgia or arthralgia, diarrhea, headache, weight loss, etc., which last for an average of two weeks. Without special treatment, they can generally subside by themselves. Of course, the occurrence of these conditions does not necessarily mean that they are infected with HIV, because other diseases can also have similar situations.

After the acute stage, the infected patients turn to asymptomatic stage. There were no other clinical symptoms or signs except for a few cases of persistent systemic lymphadenopathy (PGL). PGL refers to the enlargement of lymph nodes in at least two non adjacent parts outside the inguinal lymph nodes, with a diameter of more than 1 cm. Cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy were common. The period of asymptomatic infection in adults is generally 8-10 years.

By the early stage of AIDS, the infected will have persistent or intermittent systemic symptoms and 'mild' opportunistic infection. Systemic symptoms include persistent systemic lymphadenopathy, asthenia, anorexia, fever, weight loss, night sweats, thrombocytopenia, etc. Mild infection is mainly manifested in oral cavity, skin and mucous membrane infection, including oral candidiasis, gingivitis, skin fungal infection, herpes zoster, folliculitis, pruritus dermatitis, etc.

With the passage of time, the damage of HIV to the human immune system is more and more serious. It mainly destroys the immune cells called CD4 lymphocytes. When the immune system is destroyed to a certain extent, the infected will get sick, and one or more AIDS indicative diseases such as pneumonia, esophagitis, lymphoma, pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis and HIV related wasting syndrome will appear Combination sign.

AIDS spreads fast and cannot be cured at present. Antiviral treatment is the key. In 1996, at the 10th International AIDS conference in Vancouver, he Dayi, a Chinese American scientist, published the so-called "cocktail" mixed drug treatment. After effective antiviral treatment, the quality of life of AIDS patients was significantly improved, the hospitalization rate was significantly reduced, and most of the infected people could return to work.
