AIDS has always been an evil that is difficult to get rid of. It is the abbreviation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and is caused by HIV. At present, there is no vaccine for AIDS prevention and no effective treatment. Once infected, the mortality rate is extremely high. AIDS virus seriously destroys the human immune function, people's resistance is extremely low, and eventually multiple organ failure dies. So, what must we know about AIDS?
1. Ways of AIDS infection:
(1) Sexual infection: The probability of heterosexual or same-sex infection is extremely high.
(2) Blood transmission: injecting drugs by sharing non sterile syringes and needles, importing HIV containing blood and blood products, using non sterile or non sterile medical instruments, sharing razors and toothbrushes, etc., and spreading unconsciously.

3. Treatment and prevention of AIDS:
Although the treatment of AIDS is temporarily incurable, it can delay the life of patients to a certain extent. In terms of treatment, many drugs are used together to minimize the amount of virus, obtain immune function reconstruction and maintain immune function, and reduce HIV related incidence rate and mortality. AIDS patients should cooperate with doctors to treat them, be confident and optimistic, maintain balanced nutrition, not eat uncooked food, eat more vegetables, must eat high energy, high protein diet, pay attention to supplement vitamins and minerals, a small amount of diet, and eat regularly. Secondly, quit smoking and drinking, increase resistance through physical exercise, regularly review according to the doctor's requirements, and adjust the amount of medication used in a timely manner based on physical condition. In terms of prevention, healthy individuals must keep themselves clean, stay away from high-risk groups, strictly prohibit drug use, do not transfuse blood or use blood products without authorization, and do not borrow or share toothbrushes, razors, shavers, etc.
