Preface
Wang Qiang looked up from the results of the examination, and there was a thin teenager sitting opposite, wringing his fingers uneasily with his head down.
Dr. Wang's heart is heavy, this child named Xiao Ming is only 15 years old, but he has already stepped into the wrong path of life.
"Xiao Ming, do you know what kind of disease you have?" Wang Qiang tried to keep his tone calm.
Xiao Ming bit his lip and shook his head, his eyes dodging.
"If you are infected with HIV, it is AIDS. "
"What?!Impossible!" Xiao Ming's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Wang Qiang sighed, he had seen too much of this reaction. Many of today's children don't even know the basics of sexuality, let alone how to prevent AIDS.
"Have you been living a chaotic life lately, have you had multiple sexual partners?" asked Wang Qiang bluntly.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame and acquiesced.
As a doctor with 20 years of medical experience, Wang Qiang is saddened by what happened to Xiao Ming.
He is often in contact with various cases of HIV/AIDS, including workers, students, white-collar workers, entertainers... AIDS is not picky, and everyone is at risk of infection.
Especially among today's teenagers, many people take those irresponsible "date" remarks on the Internet seriously and have sex at will, but they don't know how dangerous such behavior is.
Wang Qiang took out a brochure and handed it to Xiao Ming: "You take a look at this first, there is basic knowledge of HIV and AIDS."
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which destroys the body's immune system, especially the CD4+ T cells in lymphocytes.
When the number of CD4+ T cells in the human body drops to a certain level, various opportunistic infections will come to the door, which is called AIDS. "
"So I'm AIDS now, will I die?" asked Xiao Ming tremblingly.
"At the moment you are only living with HIV, and it will take some time for you to develop AIDS.
And as long as treatment is adhered to, the life expectancy of people living with HIV is not significantly shortened. "
Wang Qiang comforted, "Now that medicine is very developed, with antiretroviral therapy, the amount of virus in the body can be suppressed to the greatest extent.
In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to enhancing nutrition and improving immunity. "
Seeing that Xiao Ming relaxed a little, Wang Qiang's words changed: "But the premise is that you have to cooperate with the treatment well and get rid of those bad habits." You're still so young, and you still have a long way to go, so don't take your life seriously. "
Xiao Ming blushed and nodded, his eyes a little moist.
Wang Qiang looked at him with pity and added: "Also, although there is no cure for HIV, infection can be completely avoided.
As long as you clean yourself and take precautions to stay safe, HIV will be far away from you. I wish you were the last infected I saw..."
"I see, thank you, doctor. Xiao Ming wiped away his tears, and his tone was much firmer.
Seeing Xiao Ming away, Wang Qiang sat down with a heavy heart.
Every time he encountered such a case, he felt very powerless.
Although as a doctor, he can do his best to treat patients, at the end of the day, everyone needs to be conscious of their precautions.
He couldn't help but think of the saying: prevention is better than cure.
The starlight outside the window was brilliant, and Wang Qiang's heart burned with a trace of warmth.
He knows that society is progressing and awareness is improving.
Although many people are still suffering from AIDS, he firmly believes that if we all work together, we can one day defeat the disease once and for all.
At that time, there were no more infected people in the hospital, only healthy and safe people.
