What is the official name of AIDS?Which system of the human body does it mainly destroy?Can AIDS be completely **?What behaviors are susceptible to HIV?What is the key to HIV?Can AIDS be transmitted through food......These problems are all related to AIDS.
The full medical name of AIDS is "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome" (abbreviated as AIDS). It is a malignant infectious disease with a very high mortality rate caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). There are three main modes of transmission of AIDS: sexually transmitted, blood-borne, and mother-to-child transmission. After the HIV virus enters the human body, it mainly kills CD4+ T lymphocytes in the human body, which gradually weakens people's resistance, and a variety of complications that are difficult to develop, and finally leads to death. At present, there is no specific drug for AIDS in clinical practice, and the symptoms can only be improved through drugs.
In real life, many people do not have enough understanding of the dangers of AIDS and feel far away from them. But in reality, AIDS is very harmful, and it may be all around you and me. In July 2023, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) released the 2023 Global AIDS Progress Report: The Road to Ending AIDS, which said that in 2022, there were 1.3 million new HIV infections and 630,000 deaths from AIDS-related diseases. Globally, 39 million people are currently reported to be living with HIV. According to the National Health Commission, there are about 80,000 new cases of HIV in China every year, and the number of infections among young students and the elderly is increasing year by year. On the other hand, there are also some people who "talk about HIV and AIDS", and there are many misconceptions and unnecessary fears about AIDS, which causes panic in society.
This year, December 1 marks the 36th World AIDS Day. In order to further enhance the public's correct understanding of HIV/AIDS, disseminate the correct concept of "HIV/AIDS prevention", and improve the public's health science literacy, the 2023 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Citizen Science Quality Competition has specially launched a special quiz activity of "Gathering Social Forces to Fight AIDS Together".
Through answering the questions, the public will learn a wealth of knowledge about AIDS, including the pathogenic mechanism of AIDS, the damage to human health, the transmission route and preventive measures, and the best methods.
This special quiz activity focuses on improving the public's awareness of HIV/AIDS and establishing a correct concept of HIV/AIDS, which has been strongly supported by the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, China Telecom Group Science and Technology Association, China Telecom Museum, China Mobile Communications Group Science and Technology Association, China United Network Communications Group Science and Technology Association, Beijing Gehua Cable TV Network Co., Ltd. and other units.
Background. Scientists have found that the four known strains of HIV are all from chimpanzees and gorillas in Cameroon. As early as June 5, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a case report of five AIDS patients in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly, which was the world's first official record of AIDS. In September 1982, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control officially named the disease "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome", commonly known as AIDS. Soon after, AIDS spread rapidly to all continents. In 1985, a foreigner who traveled to China fell ill and died soon after staying in Beijing***, and was later confirmed to have died of AIDS, which was the first time that AIDS cases were detected in China.
In order to raise people's awareness of AIDS, the World Health Organization designated December 1 as World AIDS Day in 1988, calling on countries and international organizations around the world to hold relevant activities on this day to publicize and popularize the knowledge of AIDS prevention. World AIDS Day is marked by a red ribbon to symbolize public care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. December 1, 2023 marks the 36th World AIDS Day. *The Office of the Working Committee on the Prevention and Control of AIDS has determined and released the theme of this year's propaganda in China: "Unite Social Forces and Work Together to Fight AIDS".
The 2023 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Citizen Science Quality Competition will set up different modes such as daily answers, time-limited challenge answers, PK answers, and special answers in the online form, allowing you to use the "small screen" to improve scientific literacy in fragmented time. You can also conduct a self-test by conducting a "Test Your Digital Science Literacy" to understand your basic situation in terms of scientific spirit and thought, scientific method, scientific knowledge, and problem-solving ability.
At the same time, the competition will also cooperate with relevant units to carry out special answers on different topics from different perspectives such as interpretation of national strategies, cutting-edge science and technology, social hotspots, scientific (family) spirit, emergency science popularization, and scientific rumors.
