AIDS is a serious chronic progressive infectious disease caused by the HIV virus, the human immunodeficiency virus, which destroys the immune function of the human body, causing a variety of unacceptable infections and tumors in the human body, and eventually leading to death.
AIDS is still a disease that cannot be completely **, at present, it can only inhibit the replication of the virus through drugs, but cannot completely kill the virus, so prevention and timely detection of AIDS is very crucial.
What is AIDS?
AIDS, or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is an immunodeficiency syndrome caused by a type of immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Being infected with HIV is not the same as having AIDS.
AIDS has an "incubation period", usually 8-10 years, during which the main task of HIV is to replicate in the human body, destroying the immune system little by little, until the immune system is completely disintegrated, and then it will enter the disease state.
Infected people during the incubation period are not AIDS patients.
They can only be called people living with HIV and, like normal people, do not show any symptoms. If the carrier receives an active, effective antiviral** during the incubation period, the amount of HIV in the body will be effectively controlled, and the immunity can be restored to a relatively healthy state.
I never "mess around", why do I still have AIDS?
Xiao Wang suddenly had a fever, felt cold in his body, and had swollen lymph nodes and mouth ulcers. I thought it was a lot of work pressure and a physical illness, so I went to the hospital to buy some medicines, but there was no ** after taking it.
I had no choice but to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and after the doctor communicated with Xiao Wang in detail, he recommended a comprehensive blood routine test, and the results showed that Xiao Wang was suffering from AIDS.
Xiao Wang immediately became anxious, saying that the doctor was talking nonsense, he had never messed around, how could he get this disease.
The doctor did not get impatient because of his violent temper, and even communicated with him in detail, only to find out that he had gone to the outpatient clinic to have a tooth extracted because of his toothache a few months ago, which may have caused him to be infected with AIDS.
The doctor confessed that you may have done these 3 things
1. Tattoos and eyebrow tattoos
Nowadays, young people pursue beauty, fashion, and the beauty industry is deeply loved by women, and the tools used in the beauty process are easy to cause constant blood contact between customers.
At the same time, it will be repeatedly contaminated in the container with the pigment potion, if the container is not sterilized and replaced, the medicine is used for a second time, the needle tip is not completely sterilized, and the tattooed person in front of you happens to have AIDS, then the probability of cross-infection is about 80%.
There is nothing wrong with loving beauty, but you must choose some regular hospitals, disinfection conditions must be in place, and the health is good, so that you are also responsible for your own health, otherwise it is easy to infect hepatitis B, syphilis, tuberculosis, bacterial inflammation, etc.
2. Share personal belongings with others
When brushing their teeth, some people's gums may "bleed", and when shaving, some men's ** may "hang color". Therefore, if these personal items are shared by multiple people, it is easy to cause cross-infection, which can pose a threat to the health of both people.
Especially if your partner is HIV-infected or carrier-in-progressive, the risk of infection increases dramatically. Therefore, we should always remind ourselves not to share personal items such as toothbrushes and razors with others to protect our health and safety.
3. Tooth extraction and tooth cleaning
Some dental clinics are not regular, and when dental care is carried out, such as tooth extractions, fillings, and prostheses, there is usually a problem of bleeding gums, and the care tools are not thoroughly sterilized, which will increase the probability of viral infection. Therefore, when you need to do similar things in your life, you should try to go to a formal place to do it.
Everyone can be infected with HIV
Although there are only three ways in which AIDS can be transmitted, the impact on each of us is multifaceted, which means that everyone can be infected with HIV.
High-risk groups for AIDS include people who have had high-risk sexual behaviors, people with a history of exposure to unsafe blood and products, and people who have frequent contact with AIDS due to occupational factors, such as doctors, public security personnel, and judicial personnel.
Therefore, we must learn to actively prevent HIV infection, so as to: master x health knowledge, clean self-love, and improve self-protection awareness; Self-love, ethical behavior, and the use of safety measures at every event; Avoid sharing toothbrushes, razors, syringes, and refuse drugs;
Resolutely do not go to irregular clinics, beauty salons, tooth extractions, surgeries, tattoos, cosmetology, etc.; Be vigilant when coming into contact with people living with HIV and avoid contact with other people's wounds, body fluids, and blood.
Do you know? In just 30 years since AIDS was first reported, countless people have been killed by this demon. You always feel that AIDS is far away from you, but you don't know that it is all around you, raise awareness of HIV/AIDS prevention, you and I are involved!
