World AIDS Day is just around the corner, do you understand what AIDS is? Can AIDS be prevented and cured?
AIDS, also known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is a mixed immunodeficiency disease caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus HlV) infection with a predominantly defective T-cell immune function. AIDS is the final stage of a person's HlV infection and is a serious infectious disease with a very high morbidity and mortality rate.
The first case of AIDS was found among homosexuals in the United States in 1981, and it was followed by a large number of cases, which were so violent that those who developed the disease were almost certain to die. In 1985, the first case of HIV infection was discovered in China. AIDS patients and HIV-infected people (carriers) are the source of infection of the disease. The incubation period is long, up to 10 ∽ 20 years, the average incubation period between 8 ∽ 10 years. The transmission route is through blood, sex and vertical transmission from mother to child. There is no vaccine to prevent AIDS. There is no cure for AIDS.
The current preventive measures is to cut off the transmission channels, in our country the state of HIV-infected patients and patients to take "four free and one care" policy, HIV transmission through blood or drug use has been effectively controlled, mother-to-child vertical transmission has also been reduced to a minimum, but the transmission of same-sex or heterosexual sex is still an increase in the population of this group of people in the world AIDS On the day of the world AIDS, to take the initiative to monitor, and the state free of charge, to the local county CDC on the line. However, the main measure is still one sexual partner is best, same-sex or multiple sexual partners should wear a condom to have sex, and active monitoring.
realize
preventable and treatable
I am a surgeon and patients are screened for infectious diseases preoperatively. I would like to say that AIDS really isn't that far away, it's all around you and me!
I think it must be mandatory to have medical checkups before school, employment, and marriage.
I feel that there is a need to restrict outsiders infected with AIDS from coming to our country to study and work.
Compulsory medical examinations are required for sex workers drug users and homosexuals.
Don't let AIDS run rampant in the name of so-called human rights by hindering the means of controlling the disease. The whole society should fight AIDS and give us and our future generations a clean and safe sky.
There is no disease that cannot be cured, and there is no medicine for immortality.
Thanks for the invitation!
Tomorrow (December 1) is World AIDS Day. Recently, the news and developments about AIDS have been constantly being screened and reminding the world that AIDS is really not far away from us, so how much do you know about AIDS? Is it preventable and treatable? Today, with the help of the subject's question to give you an answer.
What is AIDS?
Our current common definition is: a disease that causes immunodeficiency due to the destruction of the immune system as a result of HIV infection, also known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.Understanding AIDS captures three key points: 1. has a cause (HIV, AIDS virus) 2. is an infectious disease 2. compromises the immune systemThe greatest danger lies in the fact that by destroying the immune system, the body loses its protection and gradually becomes the target of many opportunistic diseases, which in turn contribute to the occurrence of a variety of clinical symptoms.
Is AIDS curable?
People may be more concerned about whether it can be cured or not as opposed to prevented.Although there has been 1 case in the world where an AIDS patient was completely cured, it is too idiosyncratic. Objectively speaking toCurrent medical technology has not been able to cure HIV. However, there are many treatments being researched, none more famous than theCocktail therapy.Although it is not a complete cure, it has succeeded in dramatically reducing the mortality rate, delaying the onset of the disease indefinitely, and reducing the number of viruses in the blood of infected persons to undetectable levels, thus dramatically improving the health of carriers and decreasing their contagiousness;
But with the high cost of cocktail therapy, low tolerance for forgetting to take the medication, and serious side effects in many infected people who take the medication, it's crucial to shift the focus to prevention.
Is AIDS preventable?
Of course. As we talked about earlier, it is an infectious disease with a clear pathogen, so it can be well prevented by eliminating the source of infection, cutting off the means of transmission, and protecting susceptible populations.
1. Blood transmission: Be careful not to enter blood and its products of unknown origin and share syringes;
2. Mother-to-child transmission: at present, the later more mature methods for mother-to-child blocking;
3, sexually transmitted: the most important thing is to be clean and safe sex.
Keeping in mind the three ways of transmission, you can stay well away from AIDS.

AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is an infectious disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), for which there is no curable drug or effective vaccine. It is important to note that everyone is susceptible to AIDS. After invading the human body, HIV mainly destroys the human immune system, violates the lymphocytes of the human body, and eventually leads to a serious impairment of immune function. A common tumor in AIDS patients is Kaposi's sarcoma.
The main routes of HIV infection are:
1, Blood Infections
Early blood infection is the hardest hit area of AIDS, Henan AIDS village is mainly blood transmission. The probability of blood infection is very high, and the probability of being infected once in contact with blood is more than 90%. However, with the development of modern medicine, the blood infection has been well controlled: the nucleic acid test can detect HIV antibody in about 7 days.
2. Mother-to-child infection
Maternal HIV infection can be blocked by medication to give birth to a healthy baby. Breast milk is also a route of transmission; do not breastfeed your child.
3. Sexual contact transmission
Sexual infection of HIV now reaches more than 90% and has become the main way of HIV infection. Being clean is the only way to protect yourself.
AIDS is scary, but preventable. Daily contact and sharing of public facilities, such as shaking hands, hugging or kissing, coughing or sneezing, using public telephones, and being bitten by mosquitoes will not spread AIDS. Although AIDS cannot be completely cured, it can be controlled by medication and other chronic diseases, and you can basically live a normal life.
To prevent AIDS, don't have sex indiscriminately, pay attention to the outside world's unclean infiltration, pay attention to not injecting in the body indiscriminately, pay attention to the outside world and their own wounds and blood touch, treatment of AIDS, eat more tomatoes, tomatoes have with the AIDS counteracting tomato pigment, the daily diet as much as possible, calcium, iron. Iron. Zinc. Selenium and other minerals such as trace elements complete, which are to help the body to increase the resistance of immune cells, AIDS is the main main destruction of the body's immune system, so we have to continue to give the body to improve immunity, mainly from the nutritional allotment, can never be a big fish and meat, and secondly, is the mentality of the mind is very important, happy and happy! The so-called adjustment of disease first adjust the mind, the mind adjusted, the disease is half good, have great perseverance and patience, AIDS can be through the food Liao and not medicine and Yu! Do you believe it? If you believe in it, you should try it. If you try it, give me a good report!
Is AIDS Day a celebration? Is having AIDS a crime or not, and does it have to be kept a secret?
We're all adults here. What do we care?
