So what is AIDS? Its definition is: acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, referred to as HIV.
So what is its main pathogenic group? HIV mainly invades and destroys CD4+T lymphocytes, resulting in damage or even defect of immune cells and/or functions, and eventually complicated with various serious opportunistic infections and tumors.
What are its characteristics? Aids has the characteristics of fast spread, slow onset and high mortality.
We can know that the main clinical manifestations of AIDS are fever, night sweats, diarrhea, weight loss, accompanied by general malaise, headache, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, myalgia, joint pain, rash, swollen lymph nodes, memory loss, apathy, personality change, epilepsy, dementia and so on.
What should I do if I suspect that I am infected with AIDS? First of all, you can go to the infectious diseases department of the hospital to do an HIV antibody experiment or an HIV nucleic acid experiment. Personal privacy please rest assured. The medical staff will strictly protect the patient's condition and will never let others know that you are infected with AIDS without your permission.
At present, the treatment of AIDS in clinic is mainly drug treatment, and AIDS can not be completely cured yet. Using drugs to suppress the virus can make patients feel less pain and improve their quality of life.
How to get along with AIDS patients? We should care about them, don't discriminate against them and stay away from them. We can always get along with them as before and avoid contact through some communication channels.
So how can we prevent AIDS? Be careful when making friends. In the process of making friends, you must keep your eyes open and don't have multiple sexual partners at the same time. If you want to donate blood, please go to a regular blood donation institution and don't share needles with others. Medical staff must protect themselves when they come into contact with patients' blood.
