What do you think about college students with AIDS?

With the development of the times, people's acceptance of the topic of sex and sexual behavior is getting higher and higher, and in 2015, a mapping survey and research for undergraduates of colleges and universities in 34 cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Xi'an, divided into men and women, and grades, showed that: 60.5% of college students surveyed accepted sexual liberation and sexual freedom, 67.1% accepted premarital sexual behavior, and nearly 70% of college students accepted Unmarried cohabitation behavior.Insiders analyze the causes of HIV infection among college students:

For one thing, college students are sexually open and casual.

Wu Zunyou, director of the Center for STD and HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control at the CDC, said that college students just released from the pressure of high school academics, feel fresh about gay sex and want to "try it out," but they do not know the risks involved.

Secondly, there is a lack of knowledge about sexual safety and how to protect themselves.

Shin, an infected person, said, "At the time, I felt so far away from the disease that I was completely unaware that I was infected."Thirdly, sex education in colleges and universities is lagging behind.

According to reports, many college students from second- and third-tier cities in the Pearl River Delta or rural areas know little about AIDS. Sex education in colleges and universities is generally lagging behind, and the resources of the government's education system and health system in the prevention of AIDS among college students have not been effectively integrated, which makes the situation of prevention of AIDS among college students even more serious.It seems that AIDS is always linked to the words "illicit sexual relations" and "terminal illness", and people's fear of AIDS and AIDS patients has never ceased. The latest data show that the incidence of AIDS has continued to rise in recent years, with China reporting 654,000 cases of living HIV-infected persons and patients and a cumulative total of 201,000 deaths. What is even more alarming is that the number of young students with AIDS has increased by 35 per cent annually over the past five years, and the rate of HIV infection among university students is rising.

Prevention and control measures for daily life of university students

In the more than 10 years since the onset of AIDS, medical experts have achieved fruitful results in the fields of epidemiology, virology, immunology, diagnostics and prevention of AIDS. This has provided a scientific basis for the prevention and control of the epidemic and the spread of AIDS in the future. People should know that the way in which AIDS spreads depends to a large extent on people's behaviors and habits, and therefore, prevention of AIDS is completely possible and doable. For personal prevention, in addition to acquiring knowledge about AIDS, it is necessary to do the following:

(a) Be clean, do not go to illegal blood-collection stations to sell blood, do not get involved in vice establishments and do not go in and out of certain entertainment venues rashly; maintain a strong sense of AIDS prevention on all occasions; do not take any chances; and do not try to take drugs out of curiosity.

(b) When sick, go to regular clinics and hospitals for treatment, pay attention to the safety of blood transfusion, and do not go to medical units, especially individual clinics, where the sterilization of medical equipment is unreliable, for injections, tooth extraction, acupuncture and surgery. Do not use unsterilized instruments for ear piercing, tattooing or cosmetic surgery.

(c) Do not share razors, toothbrushes, etc. with others, try to avoid contact with bodily fluids and blood of others, and promptly disinfect items that have been contaminated by others.

(d) Pay attention to the contact with AIDS patients: when taking blood and giving injections to AIDS patients, syringes should be disposable, and patients' blood, excreta and contaminated articles should be thoroughly incinerated. The patient's utensils and medical instruments should be used exclusively, such as the patient's razor, toothbrush, towel, teacup, etc. should be used exclusively, and the patient should wash his/her hands with soap after urination and defecation, which can achieve the purpose of disinfection.

Suggested measures for AIDS prevention and control in universities

(i) Colleges and universities need to increase their efforts to publicize and educate people about AIDS prevention and control.

Schools can offer elective courses on physiological hygiene or AIDS-related knowledge, so that students can have a more comprehensive, systematic and in-depth understanding of AIDS through lectures by teachers. Organize lectures on AIDS-related knowledge and invite professionals to give lectures. In addition, schools can combine their own characteristics to carry out various forms of activities to promote AIDS prevention and control both inside and outside the campus, such as holding speech contests or symposiums on the theme of AIDS prevention and control before and after World AIDS Day on December 1 every year, and other activities that are close to the lives of students in different forms. Schools should hold these activities in accordance with the main propaganda and education, to cultivate a civilized and healthy life, adhere to the close to the actual students, pay attention to the practical utility of the activities, not just a mere formality, just to complete the task, to combine regular publicity and focus on publicity.

(ii) Opening up new ways of guidance to cultivate healthy behaviors among university students

People are usually more willing to listen to the views and suggestions of friends or peers of similar age, background, interests and hobbies, especially college students, who are still in the confused and rebellious adolescent period, and need the kind of peers who can discuss with each other sensitive topics such as pregnancy, sex and drug abuse, so in the work of AIDS prevention and control, the peer education of college students is sometimes far more effective than the lectures of teachers. College student volunteers with relevant professional knowledge and enthusiasm for AIDS prevention and control are recruited and trained in AIDS knowledge and communication skills, so as to promote the formation of correct values and healthy behaviors. These volunteers can influence and educate the students around them by sharing information and modeling behaviors among peers, and so on, forming a positive influence and effect among this group of college students.

(iii) Encouraging students to organize their own interventions and to take the lead in the prevention of HIV/AIDS in the community

Contemporary college students is a special group, their thinking is very active, the level of knowledge is relatively high, easier to accept and grasp the knowledge related to AIDS, plasticity and strong, in the school's education and guidance thinking at the same time, encourage college students to set up their own clubs and organizations on AIDS prevention and control, change the passive acceptance of the independent education, regular AIDS prevention and control of the theme of the activities held by college students to plan their own, The regular holding of AIDS prevention and control activities, planned, publicized and implemented by college students themselves, can drive more students to join the AIDS prevention and control team. At the same time of preventing and controlling AIDS among college students, they can also go into the society and the life of AIDS patients to publicize the prevention, control and treatment of AIDS, and serve as a link to help HIV carriers and AIDS patients to contact the society and integrate into the life of the society. As long as enough attention and correct guidance, the youthful vigor and patriotic enthusiasm of college students will play a positive role in the prevention and control of AIDS in China.

What do you think about college students getting AIDS? Poverty is not something to be afraid of, but the disease is! First of all, fewer college students get AIDS because they know how to protect themselves, how to take precautions and how to use contraceptives! Risk avoidance? That is, when you have sexual contact with the opposite sex, you must use a condom, first, to prevent STDs and other mold infections! Secondly, to avoid conception, it is inevitable that they have not completed their studies and have limited ability to make a living! Since you've got AIDS? Cooperate with the doctor active treatment, mood, and do not be depressed and sad! Whether girls, boys, we must know how to protect themselves and others, self-love, self-respect, is the cultivation of each of us! [Rose] [Rose] Thanks for the invitation!

The staff of the AIDS Prevention and Control Section, began to putuniversity campusinto their preaching positions. One thing to realize: in the past, their main preaching position was theThe red-light district where nightclubs, KTVs and clandestine prostitutes reside.

This change reminds us that the invisibility of HIV carriers and infected persons is expanding, and that AIDS is not only likely to "attack" high-risk sex workers, but also the post-90s and post-00s who are active in the ivory tower around us.

They're still kids.

Most of them are still poorly informed mice in the matter of AIDS prevention and control, but they are bulls running amok in a china store when motivated by sex and youthful fervor.

I remember a party where middle-aged parents talked about their college-bound kids and how unsettled they were.

A parent's son is studying abroad, the world of flowers ah, worried about the child out of the problem, remind the child to use condoms, the boy openly and parents to communicate, prompting parents to be assured.

Another parent, on the other hand, had a daughter. College vacation to go out of town and reunite with classmates, parents heart knocked over the bottle of five flavors."Trying to remind her to be safe, especially the (sexual) one."Stammering and the child said a lot of clouds, has not been good to say the point, who knows that the daughter herself rhetorical question, "Is not afraid of me and classmates rooming, pregnant? Where do you think!"

In a country where sex education is a taboo, young men and women entering college life are wandering, overstepping, indulging and even messing up in their sexual curiosity and lust.

Off-campus rooms are known as the "booty call" for college students;

These young people are also frequently seen on some same-city dating social software;

And college love, and sex entangled, many people's love "break up in bed after";

"First love" has also been redefined to mean that it is the "first time" of love for each individual.

While college couples are commonplace, some guys and girls who don't have a couple to go with them are coveting the world of flowers off campus.

Their sex, not necessarily a vacuum.

All of this suggests to us that the chances of college students getting AIDS are increasing as they become more sexually active.

Inappropriate sexual behaviors, uncertain sexual relationships, and sexual encounters that don't protect themselves are causing some college students to stray from the edge of AIDS, even without realizing it when they step in.

Sex isn't a beast, but when you can't harness it properly, it can break through the barriers and tear your health to shreds!

I just read a set of data from the Internet: the number of HIV-infected persons and patients reported in China in 2008 was 56,000, and in 2014 it was 104,000, which means that the number of HIV-infected persons and patients in China has increased by less than two times in the past six years. However, during the same period, the number of HIV infections and patients among university students has nearly quadrupled.

This figure is too alarming. Universities, which are supposed to be ivory towers, have now become places with a high incidence of AIDS, and this has to arouse our great concern.

So why is AIDS so widespread in universities? To figure this out, I checked some further data.

Some sources show that from 2014 and from January to October this year, infections caused by same-sex sexual behavior accounted for 82 percent of new HIV infections among college students.

We all know that there are three ways of spreading AIDS: mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission, and sexual transmission, which is especially exacerbated by male-to-male specific sexual behaviors.

According to surveys, the sex ratio of HIV-infected male and female students is 11:1, and the number of reported HIV infections among female students has remained stable at 50 to 60 per year since 2008. However, the increase in HIV infections among gay men has been significant, directly contributing to the 49% average annual increase in the number of students infected with HIV between 2011 and October 2015.

That is to say that college students infected with AIDS are mainly male students, and the reason for the high incidence is precisely men having sex with men, this conclusion comes from the CCTV news.

Although I do not oppose and discriminate against homosexuality, after all, sexual orientation is difficult to change, but although youth is good, life is still the most important, if infected with AIDS, the future life and work will be greatly affected. Once there is a netizen with me to consult the relevant content, he was his boyfriend infected with AIDS, his boyfriend is still a medical student, infected with AIDS future is ruined, because the virus can not engage in this line of doctors, and the boy is also carrying the virus work is also a mess, I listened to it, in addition to a sigh of relief, but there is nothing to be done.

I hope that our universities will strengthen education in this area, and our college students will be able to fall in love and clean themselves at the same time, and the prevention of AIDS begins with the refusal of unclean sex.

Diseases are the public enemy of mankind, including hepatitis, cancer, tumors, diabetes, and hypertension. Instead, the patient is the public enemy of mankind. What I need to do is understand the disease and not discriminate against anyone who has it. The vast majority of people who get AIDS don't intentionally spread the disease. Talking about AIDS is a sign of an unhealthy mind, and can lead to obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. College students should clean themselves up and cooperate with the treatment if they are infected, and don't have any psychological burden.

In recent years, the national AIDS epidemic has been on the rise, and young university students are becoming a key group of people affected by AIDS. This is not just the case in Beijing. According to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 2011 to 2015, the net average annual growth rate of HIV infections among college and university students aged 15-24 in China reached 35%, and 65% of the infections occurred during the college years of 18-22 years. Of the new HIV infections among students aged 15-24, 82% were due to same-sex sexual activity. The sex ratio of male to female students infected with HIV is 11:1, and the number of female students reported to be infected with HIV has remained stable at 50 to 60 per year. However, there has been a significant increase in the number of HIV infections among men who have sex with men. Of the students infected by men who have sex with men, 86% have multiple sex partners, and less than one-third use condoms when having sex, which is a particularly serious problem. The openness of sexual attitudes, the lagging behind of sex education, and the lack of education on health and disease prevention have led to the fact that university students have virtually "zero protection" against AIDS.

Nowadays, people's acceptance of sexuality and sexual behavior is getting higher and higher. A survey shows that 60.5% of college students accept sexual liberation and freedom, 67.1% accept premarital sex, and nearly 70% of college students accept unmarried cohabitation. At present, families and society generally attach importance to students' various knowledge education, but the education of sexual knowledge is pitifully small, Chinese parents and children always talk about "sex" color change. Few parents will tell their children the importance of using condoms. However, the temptation of youthfulness will not be stopped by the silence of schools and families, and many children have already tasted the forbidden fruit during their school years.

The survey on the knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases shows that: 50 % of the students said they knew something about it, and 23 % said they didn't know anything about it; in dealing with the problem of sexually transmitted diseases, 54 % of the students interviewed chose to go to the doctor on their own, and a few chose to endure it silently. Sexual concepts tend to be more open, but the knowledge of sex is still lagging behind the lack of knowledge of STDs and the lack of prevention ability of college students is worrying.

Colleges and universities have now begun to pay attention to this issue, and are vigorously publicizing and disseminating information on sexual and reproductive health and distributing contraceptives on campus. There is still a long way to go in the prevention of HIV/AIDS, and the joint efforts of the State, society, schools and families are needed.

Hello everyone, I am now at the CDC mainly engaged in the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and AIDS, let me talk about my views. AIDS, also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is due to the body infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), also known as the AIDS virus, and triggered by systemic diseases. HIV infection can lead to different degrees of immune deficiency, untreated infected people in the late stages of the disease is easy to complicate a variety of serious infections and malignant tumors, and ultimately lead to death. HIV mainly exists in the infectious source of blood, semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, amniotic fluid, thoracic and abdominal fluid, and breast milk and other body fluids, and the main routes of infection and transmission of the sexual route, blood, and mother-to-child transmission.


As a result of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the number of AIDS cases in China from January to August 2020 was 39,349, and the number of deaths was 11,595; in 2019, the number of AIDS cases in China was 71,204, and the number of deaths was 20,999. It can be seen that China is now at the peak of the incidence and death of AIDS. From the distribution of the population, the highest proportion of AIDS patients in China are young college students, who are in the formation of sexual behavior, values and habits, but lack of life experience, and are more vulnerable to HIV. The vibrancy and youthfulness are synonymous with college students, and if they are infected with HIV (a major infectious disease worldwide), it will have a significant impact on a family, society, and even a country. December 1, 2020 is the 33rd World AIDS Day, and this year's publicity theme is "Join hands to prevent and fight AIDS, and share the burden of AIDS". The theme of this year's campaign is "Join hands to prevent and fight AIDS, share the responsibility of health", in the face of the incurable AIDS, many people have prejudice against people infected with HIV, I will talk about the reasons that cause college students "discrimination":


l A study has shown that university students have no real understanding of AIDS, and that it is this ignorance or half-understanding of AIDS that leads to discrimination against AIDS. The study found that 88.7 per cent of university students said that discrimination against AIDS stemmed from a lack of understanding of the disease, and that this was the most crucial reason for discrimination against AIDS among university students. Meanwhile, it is also found that 82.9% of the college students have not participated in the AIDS education and publicity activities organized by the school, which shows that the higher education institutions do not pay much attention to the AIDS publicity and education activities, and a considerable part of the students lack the most basic understanding of AIDS, and they still have a vague understanding of the ways of transmission of AIDS, and they think that any contact with the AIDS patients may spread AIDS, and 42.5% of the college students even think that mosquito bites can spread AIDS. Even 42.5% of college students believe that mosquito bites can spread AIDS. It is this lack of basic knowledge about AIDS that causes college students to talk about AIDS, not dare to come into contact with AIDS patients and discriminate against them.


l AIDS is a highly contagious disease with no vaccine and no cure, which brings not only physical disability but also a huge psychological burden to patients. Since AIDS is incurable, many people are negative and depressed after suffering from AIDS, and even give up the treatment, which makes the general public shun AIDS patients.Stanger and Crandall believe that since AIDS is a fatal disease, which can pose a great threat to people's life, the fear of staying away from the threat is one of the reasons for AIDS-related discrimination. The survey found that the incurable nature of AIDS is also an important reason for college students to discriminate against AIDS, and more than half of the college students' discrimination against AIDS is attributed to the fear of the incurable nature of AIDS.


l In the public perception, the spread of AIDS is always associated with immoral behaviors, and the public generally believes that only homosexuals, drug addicts and prostitutes are likely to be infected with AIDS. This phenomenon also affects college students' understanding of AIDS. A survey found that 78.9% of college students discriminate against AIDS because of its association with these immoral behaviors, believing that AIDS is the result of the immoral behavior of the infected person, and that this immoral behavior, in itself, is not worthy of sympathy. This leads to more discrimination against those infected with AIDS through sexual behavior and drug abuse than against those infected with AIDS through blood transfusions and vertical transmission from mother to child. AIDS-related discrimination can directly or indirectly affect the entire AIDS prevention and treatment work, such as voluntary counseling and testing, exposure of infected status, care and treatment, etc., and may even cause the infected person's retaliation. At the same time, due to the existence of such discrimination, people infected with HIV (AIDS) are unable to live a normal life, and they are gradually excluded from the mainstream society and become a marginalized group, which affects the stability of the society. College students are a key group that influences the consciousness and behavior of young people and even the whole society, and their discrimination against people with AIDS contributes to the discrimination against people with AIDS in the whole society.


l College students have more frequent contact with the mass media than the general public, and the biased coverage of AIDS in the mass media has a direct impact on college students' perception of AIDS, resulting in discrimination against college students. The survey found that 38.8% of college students were discriminated against AIDS because of the biased media reports. Nowadays, in order to attract attention, many mass media report unrealistically on the news that some AIDS patients take revenge on the society, which makes the general public have a sense of crisis, and they are full of fear and discrimination against AIDS patients. In addition, the propaganda of "innocent AIDS victims" often appears in the media, implying the message that some people suffer from AIDS because of their bad behaviors, and that they deserve it and suffer from it themselves. Gradually, people have developed some inherent prejudices against AIDS patients, thus laying the social foundation for AIDS-related discrimination.

The survey found that, compared with the general public, most college students said they would have normal relationships with AIDS acquaintances, and that college students were less discriminatory against acquaintances infected with AIDS. However, college students still have serious discrimination against unfamiliar AIDS patients. College students have serious moralized discrimination against AIDS, adopt different attitudes towards patients infected with AIDS through different ways, and do not treat AIDS patients as a normal group of patients. This kind of discrimination among university students is caused by many reasons, including ignorance of AIDS, fear of the incurable nature of AIDS, and misunderstanding of the ways of transmission of AIDS. College students are in their adolescence, their self-consciousness is developing rapidly and gradually maturing, and it is especially important to correctly guide their worldview at this stage. It is suggested that in the future, we should increase our efforts to publicize and educate college students about AIDS, so that they can understand AIDS more rationally, and expand and emphasize anti-discrimination education and publicity about AIDS, so as to reduce the discrimination of college students against AIDS patients.



There is no effective HIV vaccine that can prevent HIV infection or slow the progression of AIDS. Cutting off the means of transmission of HIV is an important way to prevent and control AIDS.

Specific ways to cut off transmission are.

:: Cut off sexual transmission of HIV infection. Use condoms correctly and practice safe sex.

:: Refuse drugs and do not share needles.

:: Avoiding medical transmission of HIV. Avoid unnecessary injections and blood transfusions in medical practices.

:: Blocking mother-to-child transmission of HIV. If HIV infection is detected during a maternal pregnancy test, regardless of the number of CD4+ T-lymphocytes, appropriate antiviral drugs should be given to the mother before she gives birth for treatment and prophylactic treatment of the fetus, which will play a role in blocking the transmission of HIV.

:: The risk of HIV infection in high-risk populations can be reduced by taking antiretroviral therapy drugs in combination with safe sexual practices, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).


Summary:Domestic and international experience in combating the disease has shown that byhealth educationUniversalizing knowledge about AIDS is the key to combating the spread of the disease, but health education in schools in this area is seriously lagging behind. To control the spread of AIDS, in addition to extensive publicity of preventive knowledge, more emphasis should be placed on changing risky behaviors, which means that a wide range of behavioral intervention policies should be carried out, so that everyone will be aware of the risk of infection in their own habitual behaviors and be given behavioral interventions to repeatedly stimulate the establishment of safe behaviors. In my opinion, it is imperative to strengthen self-esteem and self-love and HIV prevention and treatment behavioral interventions for college students. On the development of college students AIDS health education intervention point of entry, to make full use of the hope of their ownThe idea of physical health, the desire of college students for new knowledgeHighly qualified and fully committed to public servicefavorable conditions, develop targeted interventions, and reach out to the university population for comprehensive health education to make the campaign more effective. We need to join hands in the fight against AIDS and hope that a vaccine will soon be developed.Finally, I wish every one of us good health. Usually pay more attention to their own health status, it is recommended to go to a regular medical institution at least once a year to do a health checkup.

Many times it is the lack of sex education, basically to the university, is the love period, there are several young students in the university campus will not fall in love. And today's society is so open, it is not uncommon to have to have sex after falling in love, there is no good sex safety education, can not be a problem!

And today's love is not like our time, only limited to men and women, and today there is also a problem of homosexuality, which is actually a cause of the high incidence of AIDS, the relevant data conclusions, there are already a lot of information on the Internet, I do not list, in short, is that the rate of HIV infection between the same sex is very high.

Heterosexuals who have sex with each other are more or less likely to use the safety precaution of using condoms because they are worried about pregnancy, while most homosexuals do not use condoms because they do not have to worry about pregnancy. Since sex between homosexuals takes place on non-sexual organs, this is actually more likely to lead to HIV infection.

As noted in the relevant statistics, the chances of contracting AIDS from sexual intercourse between men are 10 times higher than those between women and women, and about 8 times higher than those between heterosexuals. The reasons for this have already been stated above. In fact, as long as the use of condoms can reduce the infection, but heterosexuals have not been able to have such safety awareness, in the gray area of the same sex will not have.

Therefore, at present, there is an urgent need for education in our country to provide knowledge of sex safety education for young people, and not only that, it is even more recommended to give lectures to the parents who are feudal and conservative, so that they know that it is possible to avoid all kinds of sexually-induced problems if their children have the right sex education.

The fact that many college students become AIDS patients because of homosexuality is something to think about.

From a moral and ethical point of view, homosexuals should not be discriminated against, and the more open and equal they are, the more socially acceptable they will be, but at the same time, it is necessary to prevent the situation where they are induced to become homosexuals. It has been proved that there are not a few such cases, and there are even many young people who would find it a fashionable behavior.

From the perspective of disease prevention, it is important to pay attention to homosexuals, as much as to sex education during puberty, and to do a good job of condom promotion, so as to create an equal and harmonious social environment.
