Sexual Health
What are the main groups infected with AIDS? The main population of AIDS transmission is young people
The main Pathogen transmission of AIDS include blood contact, sexual contact, mother to child vertical transmission, etc. The main route of AIDS infection among adolescents is sexual contact. Because the Sexual partner of young people are not fixed and their minds are relatively open, AIDS patients are mainly young people and adolescents.
If there are a series of clinical symptoms of recent high-risk exposure, such as blood or sexual contact, fever, Lymphadenopathy, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, sore throat, abnormal rash, etc., the possibility of infection should be alert. At the same time, it is recommended to regularly check for HIV in the future. If the diagnosis is clear, timely treatment of antibodies should be carried out.
In the past, people have always believed that AIDS is a disease caused by unhealthy sexual life. However, with the research findings, in recent years, AIDS patients have gradually developed to young people, among whom young people have become a high incidence of AIDS. The specific situation is as follows:
High incidence group of AIDS - teenagers
In theory, AIDS is easy to infect anyone. From the perspective of age, AIDS can occur at any age, but the fact shows that more than 90% of them occur under the age of 50, mainly in the 20~40 adult and infant age groups. According to the analysis of 21726 cases of AIDS in the United States, the incidence rate is mainly young and middle-aged, with 89% aged 20-49 and 47% aged 30-39. The average age of Zaire patients is 33.63/4, ranging from 20 to 39 years old. This shows that adolescents play an important role in AIDS patients.
In the past, most young people with AIDS were men, but statistics show that the number of female patients is increasing. In 1985, the sex ratio of men and women decreased from 4:1 to 3:1 in 1988, and from 1987 to 1988, the number of female patients increased by 80%. So, what are the risk factors for AIDS among adolescents? The low age group (under 20 years old) is mainly infected with blood products and transfusions.
High incidence group of AIDS - teenagers
The incidence rate and etiology of AIDS among adolescents vary according to gender, nationality or race. The incidence rate of AIDS in the 13-19 male (18/million) age group is 4.5 times higher than that in the female (4/million) age group. Black patients (27/million) and Latin Americans (25/million) are 3.8 times and 3 times higher than that in the white (7/million) age group respectively. Six times. Among most white adolescents, menstrual products are infected (50%). 24% were black, 44% were homosexual AIDS patients, and 19% were heterosexual.
Summary hint: After introducing the above contents, I believe you have realized the horror of AIDS. Young people with AIDS can explain many problems, mainly because of weak awareness of prevention. I hope to educate children about AIDS from young people and even at an early stage, so as to reduce the incidence of AIDS.
