Recently, foreign media reported that a new ultra-mutant HIV strain was found in the Netherlands, which destroys the immune system twice as fast as other virus variants, and has infected 109 people.
This new mutant, known as the VB variant, has a viral load of 3.5 to 5.5 times higher than current strains, and infected patients can quickly transmit the virus to others.
The most common route of transmission – sexual transmission
First of all, AIDS is not far away from us, and sexual transmission is the most important way of aids transmission.
Unsafe sex is the main cause of the sexual transmission of AIDS, and unsafe behaviors with a high risk of HIV infection include: unprotected male same-sex sex, unconventional partner sex, paid sex, etc.
(National testing data show that about 8 out of every 100 men who have same-sex sex sex are infected with AIDS and have a high risk of infection.)
Taking new drugs can cause people to lose their judgment and are more likely to have unsafe sex.
What conditions can cause a high risk of HIV infection?
Patients with STDs mostly suffer from inflammation or erosion and ulceration in the genitalia and external genital areas, providing favorable conditions for the invasion of AIDS, making it easy to enter the human body and spread rapidly.
AIDS is mainly transmitted through the blood route, and a large number of epidemiological and biological studies have shown that genital ulceration and erosion STDs and non-ulcerative STDs can enhance the transmission of HIV. Moreover, AIDS has also changed the course of the occurrence and development of some sexually transmitted diseases. Thus, STDs can contribute to the spread of AIDS. At the same time, patients with STDs can accelerate and exacerbate the incidence of AIDS due to the destruction of the body's immune defense system.
When sexually transmitted disease pathogens infect people, they often cause an inflammatory response, and inflammation increases lymphocytes, because lymphocytes are the target cells of AIDS attack, so its rapid increase plays a role in attracting AIDS invasion.
What are the clinical manifestations of AIDS?
The first stage is acute HIV infection
It is mainly manifested by fever, night sweats, diarrhea, etc. without obvious causes, which can last for more than 1 month; weight loss of 10% or more; and some patients may have psychiatric symptoms, such as memory loss, personality changes, epilepsy and dementia. Others have persistent systemic lymphadenopathy.
The second stage is asymptomatic HIV infection
This stage can be as long as 20 years, an average of 8 to 10 years, the patient may not have any manifestations, some people may have lymphadenopathy, some people will develop AIDS, although there are no symptoms, but the blood can detect viruses or antibodies, but also infectious.
The third stage is AIDS
At this time, there are common symptoms of AIDS-related opportunistic infections and tumors, in addition to the fever, night sweats, lymphadenopathy, etc. just mentioned, with the invasion of infection and tumors, there will also be oral leukoplakia and ulcers, various rashes, cough, sputum cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dysphagia, decreased appetite, vision loss, blindness, limb paralysis, anemia, urinary incontinence, urinary retention, intestinal obstruction, etc. If AIDS patients do not receive timely treatment, they will eventually become emaciated and debilitated, and then die.
What can we do to stay away from AIDS?
✔ Avoid unsafe unprotected sex, such as multiple partners and one-night stands.
✔ Proper use of quality condoms.
✔ Do not expose yourself to drugs in any way.
✔ Do not share personal household items such as razors and toothbrushes with others.
✔ You should go to regular beauty salons and hospitals for tattoos, eyebrow tattoos, teeth beauties, ear piercings, etc.
✔ For people at risk of infection, pre-exposure prophylaxis is carried out by taking medication.
It is better to take precautions than to make up for the dead sheep, and it is better to pay attention to the prevention of disease than to become a medicine after the disease has become a disease, and chaos has become a cure!
