AIDS has been receiving much attention in recent years, just like cancer, and he is afraid of talking.
As we all know, AIDS is an incurable disease, and there is almost no good treatment after suffering from AIDS, which leads to extreme panic and fear in people's hearts.
In addition, our society is particularly opposed to AIDS patients, because many people believe that exposure to AIDS patients can easily lead to their HIV infection, but in fact this is not the case.
There are three main ways of HIV infection, including X transmission, blood transmission and mother-to-child transmission, among which sexual transmission and blood transmission are the main ways of AIDS transmission.
The transmission route of AIDS does not include general contact, so AIDS patients should not be discriminated against in their lives, such as eating together, shaking hands, etc., will not be transmitted from AIDS.
In fact, we should pay more attention to a person in AIDS. If it takes a long time to be discovered after being infected with AIDS, and in most cases, many people mistake the early symptoms of AIDS for skin diseases, which are easy to be ignored.
What are the scariest things about AIDS?
During the AIDS period, due to the long-term virus being uncontrolled, the human body has severe immune deficiency , and then various infections or malignant tumors in the body, as well as symptoms or diseases related to immune disorders. This series of symptoms or diseases are called immunodeficiency syndrome.
Therefore, HIV infection is generally not fatal and will not show symptoms. These secondary infections, tumors and other syndromes will have symptoms and may be fatal. Therefore, what is terrible about AIDS is these syndromes, not HIV infection itself.
The initial manifestation of AIDS, don’t mistakenly think it is a skin disease
Skin damage
Many people suffer from AIDS, most obvious skin damage, mainly manifesting rash, general itching, sharp , genital warts, urticaria, etc.
patients will also experience herpes on the skin, and even the scope gradually expands. Some people cannot improve their disease for several months, and even symptoms such as inflammation and ulceration appear in the mouth and throat.
Fatiguness
Patients may feel fatigued after being infected with HIV. If you want to treat fatigue well, you must figure out what causes fatigue.
Generally speaking, the causes of this problem include bad eating habits, depression and insufficient rest, etc. Patients should treat symptomatically during treatment.
Continuous fever
The harm of HIV to the immune system leads to a collapse of the immune system. The immune system is the most powerful line of protection for our body. Once the immune system collapses, many diseases will occur.
and continuous fever is a manifestation of the body's immune system resistance. Therefore, when this situation occurs, taking medicine and injections are useless, it may be caused by AIDS.
will affect nervous system
When invaded by HIV, it will affect the nervous system, causing unexplained headaches, dizziness, and facial twitching. This is an abnormal situation. You must go to the hospital for corresponding examinations and treatment in time and do not delay.
If a person is infected with AIDS, how long will it take to be discovered?
After being infected with HIV, it will take about two weeks to three to four weeks to be able to undergo a test. Then, it is necessary to determine whether the infection occurs based on the results. If the test is too early, the false positive of may occur, which will affect the effect of the test.
Some people have very mild clinical symptoms in the early stage and are not easy to detect, but directly enter the asymptomatic period. The asymptomatic period can maintain an average of 6-8 years, at least for several months and at most for decades, and then the patient enters the AIDS period.
During the AIDS phase, the patient will experience continuous fever, continuous diarrhea, and weight loss. At this time, HIV antibody testing will also be diagnosed.
How long can you live after being infected with AIDS?
After suffering from AIDS, if you undergo regular and reasonable treatment, the average life expectancy may be 1.44 years different from that of normal people. Modern combined and efficient anti- retrovirus treatment, that is, HAART treatment, has turned AIDS from a fatal disease in the past to a chronic infectious disease.
The lifespan difference between AIDS patients who are treated regularly in the early stage and AIDS patients who refuse to take medication is very big. As long as you have regular treatment, take antiviral drugs for a long time, take medication on time, and do not stop taking medication by yourself. Now you can basically not affect your life expectancy and you can live another 40-50 years or more.
If AIDS patients do not receive timely treatment, their body's resistance will be relatively poor, and their survival time may be less than 5 years.
is written at the end:
AIDS is a terrible disease, so prevention has become the top priority. Everyone must keep themselves clean in their lives and stay away from the transmission route of AIDS. If they are accidentally exposed to the transmission environment of AIDS, they must take blocking drugs immediately to control the replication of HIV.
