When it comes to the fear of AIDS patients, the treatment is very concentrated, so far there is no way to completely treat AIDS and reduce the quality of life, and the transmission route of AIDS must be cut off in time in life.
What is the mode of transmission of AIDS?
1. Sexual behavior
Sexual transmission includes kissing, making love, etc. Some pathogens, such as mycoplasma, HIV, vaginal trichomonas, chlamydia, may exist in semen and vaginal secretions. Generally, sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted to the other party through sexual behavior. The pathogens of syphilis and genital herpes do not exist in semen, and direct contact with the skin and mucous membranes can cause infections. Women and men with long foreskin are prone to contracting sexually transmitted diseases. There are many pathogens in the secretion of sexually transmitted disease patients, and indirect contact with clothes, quilts, toothbrushes and toilets contaminated by patients may be infected with AIDS.
2. Blood transmission
Many diseases can be transmitted through blood, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, syphilis, cytomegalovirus infection, and AIDS. If blood containing the above pathogens is transfused, the probability of infection can reach more than 90%, the incubation period is very short, and the disease is fast, with severe symptoms and difficult treatment.
3. Maternal to Child Transmission
AIDS virus, treponema pallidum, herpes virus and hepatitis virus may be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, thus causing intrauterine infection. The infection usually occurs after 4 months of pregnancy. HIV enters the amniotic cavity through the chorioamnion, and the fetus is infected through the intestinal tract or blood after swallowing.
Syphilis infection through the birth canal can lead to premature birth, miscarriage, or stillbirth of the fetus, and even intellectual disabilities and deformities may occur in the baby while still alive. The herpes simplex virus can cause fetal death, deformities, delayed intrauterine development, cataracts, and congenital heart disease.
In addition, AIDS virus may infect the fetus through the intestinal tract, causing infant conjunctivitis and pneumonia. In addition, breastfeeding and close contact between mother and baby after giving birth can also infect the baby. If the mother is an HIV infected person, the baby will also be infected by eating their breast milk.
4. Medical source transmission
Doctors who use machines that are not sterilized will cause infection from medical sources. They mainly use syringes and surgical machines that are not sterilized or sterilized. When patients' skin and mucous membranes are punctured, they will cause HIV and hepatitis virus.
Warm Reminder
Do not have multiple sexual partners, try to wear condoms during sexual activity, and do not share toothbrushes and bathtubs with others.
