No place can reflect the various aspects of life in the world like a hospital. Here, you can see countless sad scenes, and it also allows you to face the cruelest reality.
That is a 32-year-old woman who is getting married next month. But at this time, she looked at the test report in her hand, and it was like a verdict that pronounced her "death penalty".
The dazzling "HIV to be determined" made her at a loss. Although she was just suspicious, she was obviously confused.
She was sitting at the door, the phone in her hand never stopped, and she could vaguely hear the voice of the man opposite. An hour later, she left without saying anything, not even taking the medical card from the chair.
Back to 4 days ago, she had a headache, high fever, and severe cough. She took a X-ray at Shenzhen Community Hospital, and the nucleic acid test was negative. The doctor highly suspected pneumonia and prescribed the corresponding medicine for her.
took the medicine for two consecutive days. Although her condition improved slightly, her fever continued and her coughing symptoms worsened.
She felt that " infusion is better than infusion", so she went for infusion again. After two days of continuous infusion, her symptoms did not get any relief, but even so, she still wanted to continue the infusion and begged me to increase the dose.
I don't agree.
Who would have thought that she would actually cry? A person in her thirties would just cry. Perhaps seeing my confusion, she wiped her tears and said: "I'm getting married in a month. I can't have anything happen to me now, let alone be hospitalized. We've been preparing for this wedding for a long time... .I can't let him down..."
Although what she said makes sense, I still feel that something is wrong and that things are not simple.
"In this case, you can check the CT again, and we will take a look at the results."
The CT showed that her pneumonia had not improved at all, which meant that the anti-inflammatory drugs she had previously injected and taken had no effect on her.
"Where else have you been feeling unwell lately?"
She pondered for a while, obviously hesitating: "I feel pain in the muscles and joints all over my body in the past few days, and I also have some oral ulcers ... It may be caused by the infusion. Let's..."
"Come here, let me see what's going on." At the same time, she took off the sun protection clothing outside.
I saw that her neck lymph nodes were swollen , and the tattoo on her neck also caught my attention. It was three English letters, and it looked like someone's name.
The tattoo has scarred, and it is obvious that the tattoo was not put on very recently.
I called her to the stairwell, because in the clinic, we always meet the kind of patients who "just ask me", and the issue to be discussed at this time, for her, she really did not want a third person. exist.
- "You need to get a blood test now..."
- "No problem, blood can be drawn."
- "Do you know what I asked you to draw blood to check?"
- "Isn't it just to check whether it is pneumonia? "
- "No...it's AIDS and syphilis"
"I don't need to check for STDs, I don't think it is possible to get these diseases!""I have always been conservative, and my boyfriend is about to get married, and I haven't. What happened..." She almost collapsed.
"It's like this. If it's pneumonia, it should be cured after these days of treatment. And your symptoms, and more importantly, the tattoo on your neck..."
"Tattoos are nothing, I really I love him so much that I tattooed his name on it." She interrupted before I could finish my words.
"When did you get this tattoo? Where did you get it?"
"It's been almost a month and a half. It was in... I don't remember the name of that shop. It was in a small alley near our place. . "
This further aggravated my suspicion. Fortunately, she listened to my words and went to check, and the first scene happened.
The story ends here, because she never came again.
Actually, I am quite sorry, because she had three chances to save herself, but unfortunately she missed them all.
For the first time, she may have chosen a tattoo shop with substandard sanitary conditions because of the cheap price, because she felt it was close to home, or because of an introduction from an acquaintance.
Tattoo, as the name suggests, is to puncture the skin with acupuncture and inject metal oxide pigments that are harmless to the human body and cannot be absorbed into the dermis.
As everyone knows, during the tattooing process, the needle tip will be in constant contact with the blood of the person being tattooed, and will subsequently be repeatedly contaminated in the container of the tattoo solution. At this time, if the needles used for tattooing have not been thoroughly sterilized, or the potion containers are used repeatedly, cross-infection is very likely to occur!
AIDS is mainly transmitted through three ways: sex, blood and mother-to-child transmission. Sex refers to high-risk sexual behavior; mother-to-child transmission refers to transmission from an infected mother during childbirth or breastfeeding.
And blood-borne infection is the most easily ignored, and it is also the most innocent one for the infected person. Blood transmission may occur in irregular tattoos, irregular blood, wound contact with , etc.
It should be noted that among various transmission behaviors, if timely measures are not taken, the infection rate is about 95% due to blood transfusion; 30% for mother-to-child transmission, about 0.67% for sharing syringes, about 0.5-1% for sexual behavior, and about 0.5-1% for acupuncture. The injury is about 0.3%.
After getting a tattoo in an informal place for the second time, she highly suspected that she was infected with AIDS. At this time, she did not choose to take blocking drugs immediately. Instead, she was only concerned about whether she was infected, thus missing the best time to take blocking drugs.
This is also the most common mistake that many HIV-infected people make, because HIV has a window period and may not be detected at all for a period of time after being infected with the virus. This window period is 1-8 weeks, so no matter how anxious you are during this period, the test results will not be conclusive.
The most important thing to do at this time is to take blocking drugs, because after the virus enters the human body, it will usually infect lymphocytes after 72 hours. Eliminating the virus before then can effectively prevent infection. This means that the sooner you take blocking drugs, the better . Generally, the blocking success rate can reach 99% within 2 hours. Even if it is taken within 72 hours, there is a high blocking rate!
For the third time, she should choose to call the police instead of hiding it from everyone silently. Although this is really helpless, it can prevent more people from suffering and also allow unscrupulous businesses to be punished.
Because according to the " AIDS Prevention and Control Regulations ", those who knowingly know that they are infected with AIDS and still cause others to be infected with the virus through various channels will be punished for the crime of intentional injury.
In real life, such people really exist.
Someone is selling the blood of AIDS patients:
After learning that he was infected with AIDS, someone had sex with 324 men within three months and took crazy revenge:
Regrettably, it has happened. Finally, I want to remind everyone:
① Be clean and love yourself , do not engage in high-risk sexual behavior;
② do not share syringes with others;
③ do not transfuse blood in informal institutions without the guidance of a doctor;
④ do not share toothbrushes, razors and other personal items with others;
⑤ beauty shops, hairdressers Shops and tattoo parlors must choose regular ones;
⑥ Take safety measures before each sexual activity.
