According to the authoritative report of the Ministry of Health, as of the end of 2011, about 780000 people in China were living with AIDS and AIDS, with 48000 new infections annually. As for the low awareness of AIDS among the respondents, China is facing the peak of AIDS. We should extensively mobilize the whole society to participate, improve the whole society's awareness of AIDS, and promote the development of society towards zero AIDS.
AIDS is a syndrome of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that causes immunodeficiency, a series of opportunistic infections and tumors, and death in severe cases. HIV infected people and patients with blood, semen, vaginal secretions, milk, wound exudates contain a large number of HIV, highly infectious.
HIV will not be transmitted through contact transmission in daily life. It will not be infected by daily contact with HIV infected people and patients, such as shaking hands, hugging, ritual kissing, riding together, learning, playing, sharing tableware, etc., so it is unnecessary to talk about the color change of AIDS
Six early symptoms of AIDS should be clear
1. Malaise, anorexia, continuous fever, significant weight loss, and sudden weight loss in a short time. Some symptoms are similar to a cold.
2. Long term coughing is difficult to stop, and the sputum produced contains blood, accompanied by chest pain symptoms.
3. Herpes appear on the skin, with a tendency to expand in scope and obvious pain. After several months of treatment, they have not improved. In addition, mucosal inflammation and ulceration of the mouth and throat.
4. No clear cause of diarrhea, long-term treatment did not cure.
5. AIDS will affect the nervous system, so suffering from AIDS will be accompanied by intellectual decline, convulsive hemiplegia, dizziness and pain and other symptoms. In addition, the aging condition of the body will also accelerate.
6. Having symptoms of lymphadenopathy for more than six months in a row is ineffective for regular treatment. In this case, we must be alert to the initial symptoms of AIDS.
AIDS patients should not take antiviral drugs at will
Recently, some people infected with AIDS virus bought and took anti AIDS drugs at will. Some people did not choose the right time for treatment according to immunology and virology test indicators before taking drugs, and there was no formal detection and observation during treatment. Some patients judge the effectiveness of medication solely based on the improvement of clinical symptoms after taking the medication themselves, and arbitrarily reduce or discontinue the medication without realizing that it will bring serious consequences. Some infected individuals believe that as long as they can buy medication, the earlier the better. They are at a loss about whether their condition is appropriate, and they are not mentally prepared for the toxic side effects of drugs. A young man in the early stage of infection said that he did not think about how long to treat, but just wanted to immediately control the increase of HIV in the body. He is infected with AIDS virus, treatment is better than no treatment. Experts are concerned about this.
Anti AIDS virus treatment, that is, through antiviral drugs to attack the virus in different life cycles, to prevent the replication of the virus, the basic idea is to combine drugs. At present, there are more than 17 drugs available on the market worldwide, which can be replaced by combination drugs. China has now produced four drugs, and domestic drugs can form two combination schemes. Domestic drugs can also be used in combination with other imported drugs for treatment. AIDS clinical experts said that anti HIV treatment is very complex and requires high technology. Not only should we ensure the combination of medication, but we also need to choose the appropriate treatment timing and medication plan for patients. The three basic elements of implementing treatment are medication, laboratory testing, and experienced medical personnel. Monotherapy is prohibited because it quickly develops resistance, and similar drugs also develop cross resistance, thus losing the possibility of continuing treatment. Each drug has different toxic and side effects, and experienced physicians need to choose different medication plans based on the patient's different physical conditions. In addition, patient adherence to medication is also crucial for successful treatment. Patients need to take long-term medication to start treating antiviral diseases. In actual treatment, many patients find it difficult to continue taking medication due to adverse drug reactions and other reasons.
A large number of international treatment practices have shown that through reasonable and correct combination drugs, the life span of AIDS patients has been significantly extended and the quality of life has been significantly improved. Irregular treatment will inevitably lead to drug resistance, which is undoubtedly a new disaster for patients.
AIDS experts said that not all people diagnosed with AIDS virus infection need immediate antiviral treatment. Blindly treating too early can increase the chances of toxic side effects and drug resistance due to long-term medication use. People infected with AIDS virus will go through four stages: acute infection stage, asymptomatic stage, persistent lymph node enlargement stage and symptomatic stage. Antiviral treatment is generally chosen in the middle and late stages of the asymptomatic period. When to start treatment is the best, it must be guided by an experienced physician, and there should be regular follow-up and laboratory tests by the physician throughout the entire treatment process.
