People with AIDS and meningitis cannot be admitted to the hospital, and their families are urgently requested

On January 4, Mr. Du told the Beijing News reporter that on December 1, 2021, his father had fever symptoms, and the family thought it was just a common cold, but after 12 days, his father, whose condition did not improve, had hearing loss and severe headaches, so the family took him to the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital for examination.

The relevant hospitalization certificate shows that Mr. Du's father is HIV-positive, has meningitis of cryptococcus novelty, and also has symptoms such as pulmonary infection, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia. According to another HIV antibody confirmation test report, Mr. Du's father was positive for HIV-1 antibodies and confirmed to be infected with HIV.

According to Mr. Du, after that, his father was hospitalized in the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital for 16 days, during which the hospital twice issued a notice of critical illness, but a few days ago, the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital told him that due to the impact of the epidemic, the infection department could not continue to treat his father, and at about 10:00 p.m. on December 29, 2021, Mr. Du's father was discharged from the hospital.

"At that time, the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital recommended the Eighth Hospital of Xi'an Ton, but the Eighth Hospital still could not accept it. The next day, we went to the Tangdu Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University, and the other party said that only patients with confirmed new crown and hemorrhagic fever were accepted, and we were prescribed some medicine and let us go home. Mr. Du recalled.

Mr. Du said that they had also given feedback to the Xi'an Mayor's Hotline and filled in the State Council client mini program for help, and because they did not know how to deal with it, they posted a request for help information on Weibo in the early morning of January 4.

The relevant designated hospital said that AIDS was not within the scope of reception

He has been admitted to the hospital through the coordination of the health department

On January 4, the Beijing News reporter contacted the Weiqu Street Office where Mr. Du's home is located, and a staff member said that at present, Weiqu Street belongs to the control area and needs to contact the hospital to dock, "Contact the hospital street to give the coordination and release." ”

The Beijing News reporter called the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital, which had admitted Mr. Du's father. The staff of the duty room responded that since January 1, the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital has been included in the designated treatment hospital for epidemic-related personnel in Xi'an City, and will no longer accept other patients other than new crown pneumonia.

The Eighth Hospital of Xi'an, which was recommended to Mr. Du, has been a free antiviral treatment point for HIV/AIDS patients in Xi'an, and has been responsible for the distribution of free antiviral drugs for HIV/AIDS patients in Xi'an for more than 10 years. The outpatient staff of the department told the Beijing News reporter that because the street is a medium-risk area, the hospital has closed the hospital and suspended the acceptance of patients.

The medical staff of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University (Tangdu Hospital) told reporters that due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, the department currently only accepts patients with hemorrhagic fever, and HIV patients are not within the scope of medical treatment in special periods.

On January 1, the "Xi'an Release" WeChat public account issued the "Notice of the Office of the Xi'an Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters on Ensuring Orderly Medical Treatment During the Epidemic Prevention and Control Period" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), which divides the medical masses into two categories: the first type of personnel refers to the sealing and control areas, the centralized isolation personnel and other health codes are yellow code personnel; the second type of personnel refers to other personnel other than the first type of personnel.

According to the circular, Xi'an High-tech Hospital is one of the designated hospitals in Xi'an to receive the first type of personnel. The medical staff at the hospital's service desk said that during the epidemic prevention and control period, their scope of treatment was maternal delivery, gastrointestinal bleeding, aortic dissection and cardiac emergency surgery, and infectious diseases such as AIDS were not within their scope.

The reporter then called the May 21 Hospital of the Ordnance Industry, the Third Hospital of Xi'an City and many other first-class personnel mentioned in the aforementioned notice to visit the hospital, but the phone could not be connected. At the same time, the reporter repeatedly called the Xi'an Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Chang'an District Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, and as of press time, the phone was not answered.

On the afternoon of the 4th, Mr. Du told the Beijing News reporter that the staff of the local health department had taken the initiative to contact them and negotiate with the hospital for treatment. At about 9 p.m. on the 4th, Mr. Du once again said that his father had been successfully admitted to the Eighth Hospital of Xi'an City, "just completed the handover procedures, thank you for the concern of netizens." ”
