In fact, almost all health care workers and most non-health care workers are aware of the ways in which HIV is transmitted. That is blood transmission, sexual transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. Other daily contacts such as working in the same room, studying, living, sharing meals, ritual kissing, hugging, shaking hands, swimming, sharing toilet/bath/telephone, touching the patient’s clothes/quilt/money and other general household items are not contagious. Okay, what do these tips give us? AIDS is just a disease, and people with AIDS are just patients. Just like people with high blood pressure and diabetes, although it is difficult to be cured, by controlling the progress of the disease, they can still work, study, live, and have love and family as normal people. In many public places, such as subway stations and public waiting stations, we can also see information boards to help people understand the knowledge of AIDS.
However, in our clinical work, we often encounter a lot of counselors who call us or ask us in person to evaluate whether they are likely to be infected with AIDS. There are many such examples, so I will give you a few to evaluate together: Case 1: If a person with AIDS goes to the dentist and uses various instruments, and the next patient comes to see him/her, is it possible to be infected? There are already many people who have had their teeth cleaned and suspect that they may be infected with AIDS.
Case 2: When we go to the barber store to get a haircut, the previous person is an AIDS patient, and he is using the haircutting pusher, will he be infected with the next one?
Case 3: Many people are especially afraid, such as hospitalization, there is an AIDS patient next door, and there are mosquitoes flying back and forth in summer, how to do this situation? Mosquitoes but blood-sucking ah, this is not the blood transmission, and the text can not be prevented ah!
Case 4: There are also people asking whether deep kissing will be contagious, and how to do if the condom breaks during sex, and so on.
Our doctors are always willing to answer the above questions, but there is a problem that people are always unsure, always taking some non-specific or unrelated symptoms to AIDS, even if you pull him to the hospital to do the test results negative he is not sure, afraid that it is in the window period. Today, we hope that our friends who are afraid of AIDS can take up scientific weapons to protect themselves from the disease and also bring health to their families and friends, and be an excellent volunteer AIDS advocate.
The following answer to the question of dental cleaning and haircut and mosquito bites: we use these instruments for dental cleaning are disposable, where in the regular hospital, are disposable, the only thing that can be reused is the drill, and the drill every time after use, are to be disinfected, to clean. The disinfection of AIDS, take water and wash it on the line, it is completely fine. So even if the last person with AIDS is done, the next person will go to treatment, and will not be infected. So far, there have been more than 60 million AIDS cases reported in the world, and none of them were infected by tooth extraction and scaling. But here to remind everyone, oral treatment must go to the regular hospital, do not be greedy for cheap in the informal hospital Oh.
We often say in the propaganda do not use razors, razors are easily infectious, if the previous person used the razor is not stained with blood, you then shave will not be infectious. No one so used, the previous person used after the blood, and then he used it again. As long as the patient’s blood does not enter your body, you will not be infected. The previous person used a haircut pusher, can it be infected? Theoretically possible, but practically impossible. It is not possible to use the pusher with the blood of the previous person to push you next. The patient’s blood transfusion to your blood vessels is 100%, but haircuts and shaving, the blood can not enter your body, not into the blood vessels, such are not infectious mosquitoes infectious is impossible to prevent, there can be no mosquitoes, but mosquitoes definitely do not transmit AIDS, this is reassuring. Different infectious diseases have different ways of transmission, which is more absolute. For example, infectious diseases of the digestive tract, such as dysentery will never be transmitted through gas, and SARS is respiratory infection, will never be transmitted by eating steamed buns. Insect-borne infections are very special infections, the most typical of which is cerebritis. The biggest characteristic of insect-borne infections is that the pathogen can survive, grow and multiply in mosquitoes. HIV cannot survive in mosquitoes, so AIDS is definitely not transmitted through mosquitoes. This problem is solved, the next problem is that the mosquito bites a person and then bites another person, with a certain amount of blood on the mouth, can be transmitted to you. This is also not. The key or the amount of blood is too small. And the mosquito bites a person must spit out an enzyme, the skin after the skin can be sucked in, these enzymes have a killing effect on the virus. So mosquitoes spread AIDS, from the theoretical absolutely not, from the fact will not.
These are the problems we often encounter in the actual clinical, here to share with you, I hope it can help, thank you.
