Under what circumstances is it easy to get AIDS? How to avoid getting AIDS
4hw.org: at present, there is no drug in the world that can completely eradicate AIDS. When it comes to AIDS, everyone feels terrible. As long as we know the transmission way of AIDS clearly, it is the most important to avoid the virus in China. AIDS is mainly transmitted through the following three ways, you must remember clearly.
AIDS is infected through sexual intercourse, blood, mother and baby.
There are three recognized ways of HIV transmission
1. Communication through sexual contact
2. Blood transmission
3. Mother to child transmission
A. sexual transmission: transmission through unprotected heterosexual or homosexual sex.
B. blood transmission: it is transmitted by sharing non sterile syringes and needles for injecting drugs, inputting blood or blood products containing HIV, using various medical devices (such as needles, acupuncture needles, dental devices, beauty devices, etc.) that have not been sterilized or are not strictly sterilized, sharing razors and toothbrushes, etc.
C. mother to child transmission: the infected mother can transmit the virus to the fetus or baby during pregnancy, childbirth and lactation. Because the blood, sexual secretions, saliva, tears and milk of HIV infected people are infectious, and HIV itself has a certain survival ability in nature, therefore, it can not be completely ruled out through daily close contact and transmission, especially if the personal immunity is low, the damaged skin or mucous membrane (such as respiratory tract, digestive tract inflammation, ulcer) is inadvertently connected Through various ways to contact the infected person's blood and sexual secretions, even saliva, tears, there is the possibility of infection.
AIDS will not spread through air, food (water), general daily contact in public places (such as handshake, seats, toilets, bathtubs, etc.), paper money, coins, tickets, mosquito bites, and swimming pools.
After HIV infection, the incubation period is 2-10 years, and after a short period of acute infection symptoms, it will turn into a longer period of asymptomatic stage, until the body's immune capacity collapses and enters the late stage of infection. AIDS is actually the late stage of HIV infection.
Clinical manifestations of acute HIV infection
1. Fever, fatigue, sore throat, general discomfort and other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection
2. Some patients have headache, rash, meningitis or acute polyneuritis
3. Swollen lymph nodes in neck, armpit and occipital region are similar to infectious mononucleosis
4. Hepatosplenomegaly
How to prevent AIDS:
I. prevention of sexual transmission
1. abstinence
2. Abide by sexual morality, keep clean, and keep a single sexual partner
3. When the other party's HIV infection is unknown, the correct use of condoms should be adhered to
Prevention of mother to child transmission
As for the drug blocking of mother to child transmission, there are relatively mature treatment schemes in the world. At present, the most effective measure is to promote the use of simple and cheap NVP single dose therapy, plus artificial feeding. In our country, many people think that the mother to child transmission of HIV in our country is still at a low level, and lack of understanding of the fact that significant progress has been made in drug treatment to block mother to child transmission. All of these hinder the effective development of this measure in our country.
1. Women who have the chance of HIV infection should be tested for HIV before and after pregnancy. If HIV antibody is positive, we should carefully consider whether to continue pregnancy;
2. Detection of HIV antibody in neonates;
3. Women infected with HIV should avoid breastfeeding;
4. Due to the use of antiviral drugs, the risk of HIV infection in the fetus from the mother can be reduced from 28% to 8%.
III. Prevention of blood transmission
1. When blood transfusion is needed, it is required to use blood and blood products that have passed the HIV antibody test.
2. Do not get the bad habit of using drugs, especially do not share syringes with people.
3. Less than reliable medical equipment disinfection.
