AIDS is an infectious disease caused by HIV, which is now more and more common. Once infected with this disease, there is no very effective treatment and drugs, and the mortality rate is high. Although AIDS will have a negative impact on the body, as long as we pay more attention to the details of life, we can prevent this disease and effectively reduce the infection rate.
How to prevent AIDS?
1. Refusing unclean sexual behavior
HIV can be transmitted through sexual behavior, and unclean sex is one of the main reasons for AIDS infection. Therefore, we should learn to protect ourselves, self-esteem and self love, especially to avoid sexual relations with AIDS patients, and to stay away from the environment and places that may cause sexual harassment and violence. Reasonable use of condoms is necessary to avoid pregnancy and significantly reduce the risk of infection.
2. Do not share personal items such as syringes, toothbrushes, razors, etc
Syringes are also the main way to spread AIDS, especially those used by drug addicts. These materials should be destroyed centrally to avoid the spread of the virus. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to hygiene and avoid sharing personal items such as toothbrushes and razors that may generate blood. Even when staying out, it is best to bring facial cleansers.
3. Cut off blood transmission
Many people have done charitable acts of blood donation, but when donating blood, they should participate in regular voluntary blood donation, eliminate unqualified blood donation and drawing, and cannot use blood products and transfusions without permission. When sick, do not seek medical treatment at medical institutions that do not have standardized disinfection or a business license. In addition, tattooed eyebrows or ear holes are also susceptible to bacterial and viral infections, so it is important to pay attention to disinfection and protection.
4. Cut off mother to child transmission
Mother to child transmission is one of the main ways for babies to become infected with AIDS, so once infected with HIV, women must not become pregnant, even if pregnant, they must end pregnancy as soon as possible. If you have given birth, HIV infected mothers should do artificial feeding to avoid breastfeeding, because breast milk can also spread HIV, which is very risky.
What should we pay attention to when we are infected with AIDS?
Previously, AIDS has become a controllable chronic disease, but there are still some patients who have not been treated in time or died of drug abuse. Unfortunately, AIDS needs the active cooperation of doctors. People without symptoms of AIDS virus infection can work and live like normal people, take active antiviral treatment according to the specific conditions of the disease, and closely observe the changes of the disease. AIDS patients need to pay more attention to rest, provide a variety of vitamins and high calorie diet, pay attention to food hygiene at ordinary times, and do not eat raw and cold meat. Moderate exercise, maintain good emotions, actively reduce psychological stress, avoid unsafe sexual behavior, and prohibit sexual intercourse.
