AIDS, short for Acquired Immune Trap Syndrome, is a serious infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus.
The most important thing is that the disease is also latent, patients can easily transmit the disease to others in unknown conditions, in order to avoid innocent people being harmed, it is especially important to grasp the symptoms of this disease.
▲The severity of AIDS
After the HIV virus invades the human body, it destroys the immune function of the human body, reduces the body's immunity, increases the risk of infection by pathogens, and is prone to related opportunistic infection diseases.
AIDS has the characteristics of high case fatality rate, poor prognosis, difficult treatment, slow onset and rapid transmission, and is a relatively serious sexually transmitted disease in today's society.
Why is South Africa a high incidence of AIDS?
First: the economy is backward and the awareness of protection is poor
South Africa is a relatively developed country in Africa, but it is generally lagging behind.
In particular, medical conditions, not only backward technology, but also lack of basic medical and health publicity, which also leads to the general public do not know the harm of AIDS, do not know how to prevent and treat.
Second: lack of awareness of personal protection
One of the ways AIDS is transmitted is X-behavior transmission, which spreads rapidly due to people's lack of X education knowledge and lack of awareness of personal protection.
Because this part of South Africa is relatively poor, the basic food and clothing are difficult to solve, not to mention the education of children, mainly after receiving normal education, there will be basic common sense, and when some special exchanges are carried out, they will not take any protection.
Third: ancient habits of life
There are some African tribes that retain very primitive living habits, that is, they will hunt mainly, eat all kinds of bugs, and wild beasts, and animals may also carry some bacterial viruses.
Locals also have the habit of drinking river water, which contains viruses and bacteria that can be imagined.
What are the most obvious symptoms of pre-AIDS?
Early stages of AIDS:
The most obvious is fever, fever is the most common, fever body temperature is usually not more than 38 ° C, the beginning of symptoms of weight loss, fever, loss of appetite, general fatigue and weakness, influenza, cold, with the aggravation of the disease, the above such symptoms should be highly vigilant, may be related to AIDS infection, it is recommended to timely carry out HIV antibody screening to determine whether it is HIV infection, and to give relevant treatment in time.
MID-AIDS:
With a strong contagiousness, the virus can be transmitted through blood, mother and baby, sex, three ways, so we must pay attention to cutting off the transmission route in our daily lives, controlling the source of infection, and trying to avoid infection with this disease.
Diarrhea is one of the most common diseases in the middle of AIDS, which is due to the invasion of hive virus into the human intestine, causing irritation to the intestine, continuous widespread lymphadenopathy, especially in the groin, neck, axillary lymph nodes, lymphadenopathy is about 1 cm in diameter, can be moved, painless, hard, for more than three months.
Advanced AIDS:
When the pathogen invades the patient's skin, the patient's skin will appear suppurative, ulcerative, rash, some patients in the daily dressing, undressing, the skin and clothing on the body sticky, in the peeling time, there will be a serious sense of pain, its main manifestations are weight loss, night sweats, persistent fever, some patients have neurological symptoms, as well as the body has persistent lymph node enlargement, various opportunistic infections of pneumoconiosis pneumonia and other symptoms.
How to prevent the emergence of AIDS?
First: Be sure to stay away from drugs
Preventing HIV infection, staying away from drugs, and not exposing yourself to drugs can not only make your life healthier, but also avoid contracting certain infectious diseases to a large extent.
Do not use drugs in any way, and do not share syringes with others if you have become addicted and have not been able to quit.
Second: Go to the hospital or CDC regularly for examinations
The regular examination mentioned here does not refer to the sick party alone, but to both couples who must be tested regularly, because living together will have the possibility of being infected.

In the use of razors, toothbrushes, personal items and other items, they cannot be borrowed or shared with others;
Strict disinfection of instruments, tooth extraction, beauty, tattoos, and personnel who share toothbrushes, razors and other items with people living with HIV.
