Correct understanding of AIDS AIDS hypochondriasis, commonly known as AIDS phobia, is a kind of mental and psychiatric illness, which belongs to the category of hypochondriasis and is internationally known as (HIVHWORRIEDWELL) AIDS hypochondriasis, which is a secondary hypochondriasis and a hypochondriacal state that occurs on the basis of having or without obvious causes or physical diseases.
The so-called secondary refers to the occurrence of high-risk behaviors, not infected with HIV, with or without some related symptoms, and convinced that they have AIDS, due to the lack of knowledge about STDs and AIDS and the misleading media, and seeing some similar symptoms of AIDS in some books, they suspect that they have AIDS. The negative results of the test will raise doubts of one kind or another, so it is difficult for general explanations to convince them fundamentally, and even cause them to have a more or less distrustful feeling. These patients often travel from hospital to hospital, constantly changing the doctors they are treating. Cause physical and mental exhaustion and mental pain.
The causes of AIDS hypochondriasis include: patients are generally self-centered, have prominent internal dependence, and are prone to nervousness and irritabilityAttitudes towards disease and health vary greatly from each person, on the one hand, from the strong influence of social culture on patients, and on the other hand, from the individual's awareness threshold of the threat of diseaseErroneous iatrogenic imaging diagnoses, repeated examinations and long-term undiagnosed, erroneous**, and inappropriate language, expressions, attitudes, and behaviors of medical staff have an adverse effect on patients.
7 Criteria for Determining AIDS Hypochondriasis:
Have similar experiences that are consistent with the route of HIV transmission, such as a history of uncleanness, or unsafe behaviors such as sharing razors, grooming, or receiving blood transfusions.
Excessive concern about AIDS is not commensurate with the severity of the actual state of health.
Physiological phenomena or abnormal sensations that occur in normal times are considered to be manifestations of AIDS.
If you have repeatedly sought medical attention and repeatedly requested HIV antibody tests, and have tested negative multiple times, your doctor's reasonable explanation will not dispel your doubts.
Social functions such as life, Xi, and interpersonal communication are severely impaired.
Have this condition for at least 3 months.
Somatization disorders, other neurotic disorders, etc. are excluded.
The world we live in is a world in which people coexist with various disease-causing microorganisms, and we must correctly understand the relationship between people and diseases. In addition, if an AIDS diagnosis can be ruled out, there is no longer any reason for fear.
Psychology is actually a process of self-learning and Xi and transformation. Patients have cognitive impairment and little understanding of AIDS knowledge, and this kind of explanation is often effective in a short period of time but not long-lasting, and will be repeated soon, so medical staff and family and friends should patiently, repeatedly, firmly, confidently, and continuously give explanations and reassurances in order to receive a superimposed effect. Medications may be used if necessary**.
