AIDS is known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS is a contagious disease. After a person is infected with HIV, the immune system will continue to suffer serious damage, and if it is not detected and treated in time, it will lead to serious diseases such as tumors and a high death rate.
AIDS is a serious threat to human health and is incurable. HIV slowly destroys the immune system, and if treatment is not adhered to, the disease will develop rapidly. Common symptoms after the onset of the disease include: skin and mucous membrane infections, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, blood blisters, bruises, etc.; persistent fever; pneumonia, tuberculosis, cough, breathing difficulties, persistent diarrhea, blood in stool, enlarged liver and spleen, and complications of malignant tumors.
HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, blood and mother-to-child transmission The blood, semen, vaginal secretions, breast milk and wound exudate of HIV-infected and infected people contain a large amount of HIV, which is highly contagious. Sexual contact is the most important way of HIV transmission. HIV can be transmitted between men and women and between men and women through sexual intercourse (vaginal sex, oral sex, anal sex). The more sexual partners you have, the greater the risk of HIV infection.
There is no vaccine to prevent AIDS. 1. Refusal of drugs, self-respect and self-love, and observance of sexual morality are the fundamental measures to prevent AIDS, and there is no effective vaccine to prevent AIDS. The most effective means of prevention is to master the knowledge of prevention, refuse risky behaviors, and protect yourself well.
2.Prostitution, prostitution, drug use and other activities are important risk behaviors for the spread of AIDS.
3.Lifestyle of sexual freedom, multiple sexual partners and unprotected sex can greatly increase the risk of infection and transmission of AIDS and STDs.
4.Establishing a healthy concept of love, marriage, family and sex is the fundamental solution to prevent and control the spread of AIDS and STDs.
4.Daily contact with AIDS patients will not be infected After leaving the body, HIV is weak against the external environment. Daily contact will not spread HIV, such as sharing toilet rings, telephone sets, dining utensils, sleeping utensils, swimming pools or baths and other public facilities; coughing and sneezing will not spread HIV; mosquito bites will not spread HIV.
V. STDs can increase the risk of HIV infection and must be treated at regular medical institutions in a timely manner People with STDs or those suffering from genital abscesses, ulcers and inflammation are more likely to be infected with HIV and to transmit the virus to others. Early detection and standardized treatment of STDs and various genital infections can reduce the risk of contracting and transmitting HIV. If you suspect that you have an STD, you should get checked and treated as early as possible, and strive for a cure, and also mobilize people who have sexual contact with you to get checked and treated.
Sixth, the use of condoms can effectively prevent AIDS and STDs So far, insisting on the correct use of condoms throughout each sexual act is still the most effective way to prevent HIV infection through sexual means. High-quality condoms can stop the penetration of HIV, but using condoms does not mean that one can indulge in personal sexual behavior.
The incubation period of HIV is long, and the appearance of HIV-infected people before the onset of the disease is no different from that of normal people, so it is impossible to judge whether a person is infected with HIV from his or her appearance. People who have had high-risk sex, shared syringes for drugs, sold blood, or are suspected of having received unsafe blood transfusions or injections, as well as pregnant women in areas with a high incidence of AIDS, should take the initiative to go to the local HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clinic (office) for counseling and testing.
