"My life could have stopped at the age of 16. Writing these words, the young Qi Yiming (pseudonym) burst into tears.
As a child who grew up in the Internet age, Qi Yiming already knew that he liked boys when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and although the social atmosphere was much more open than before, he didn't dare to tell others this secret.
The first time we met, we missed it for life
He has loved painting since he was a child, and he still didn't give up after he went to high school, and went to study art far away from home every weekend.
One day, on the way to study art, Qi Yiming met a big brother Li Jing (pseudonym) who asked for directions, thinking that the place where the other party asked for directions happened to be the place where he went to class, and there were many cars and people on the way, so Qi Yiming asked Li Jing to go with him.
On the bus, Li Jing and Qi Yiming talked, he spoke humorously, and in a short period of time, Qi Yiming let down his guard, and when he learned that Li Jing was going to the place where he asked for directions, Qi Yiming's eyes widened.
Big brother, do you teach art?
Haha, do you think I teach art?
Qi Yiming carefully observed Li Jing and said, No. Li Jing is long and not strong, but he has a feeling of strong muscles and "strength all over his body".
"I teach sanda. After saying that, he ushered in Qi Yiming's admiring gaze. The in-depth understanding of the two made Qi Yiming gradually have a good impression of this big brother. Before arriving at the interest center, they exchanged contact information and headed in different directions.
Because they often see each other, the two gradually get acquainted with each other, and even make an appointment to go to the interest center together every week. Li Jing is very thoughtful, his height and figure are very superior, every time they meet, Qi Yiming feels that he likes him a little more.
But to Qi Yiming's surprise, Li Jing actually took the initiative to confess to him! The impact of joy made Qi Yiming a little dizzy, and under Li Jing's half-coaxing and half-deception, the two had a relationship.
At first, Qi Yiming was a little scared, but Li Jing was gentle and seductive, coupled with his own strength, Qi Yiming gradually accepted this sexual affair.
Although he was psychologically satisfied, the physical pain could not deceive people, and the blood from the anal area even stained his pants.
Later, Qi Yiming looked forward to meeting on the weekend every day, saying some cordial and dense words, and then some other ambiguous ······ I was a little distracted in class every day.
A month later, in the morning, when Qi Yiming woke up that day, he found that he had a fever, went to the infirmary, and the fever subsided after taking medicine. For the next few days, he had a low-grade fever, and he asked for leave to go to the clinic for an intravenous drip, and Li Jing disappeared after seeing him.
WeChat didn't reply, and the phone didn't answer, which made the sick Qi Yiming even more uncomfortable. What made him even more painful was still to come, because he had a recurrent low-grade fever, he came to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor recommended that he take an HIV test based on his condition and he tested positive.
After getting the checklist, Qi Yiming didn't know what this result meant to him, and after he took out his mobile phone to search, he was almost so frightened that he couldn't stand steadily.
"I love him so much, why did he hurt me! I'm only 16 years old!" In the consultation room, Qi Yiming couldn't help but cry, tears soaked his clothes.
Qi Yiming, who should have had his own bright and bright future, lost his line of defense in a fluke because of his ignorance of AIDS knowledge and indulgence in sexual behavior, and paid a painful price.
And such a tragedy is by no means an exception!
AIDS is all around us
In recent years, it is an inescapable fact that campuses, which have traditionally been regarded as pure land, are gradually being eroded by AIDS, and the number of students living with HIV is also showing a trend of younger age, gradually spreading from college students to high school and junior high school students.
According to the latest data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 3,000 cases of AIDS among adolescent students aged 15~24 are reported every year.
What is it that allows AIDS to rage on a campus that is supposed to be pure?
With the rise of various online social platforms, teenagers have more ways to make friends and have more access to sex.
They are full of curiosity and curiosity about sex, but no one tells them to learn to "protect themselves".
"Just that time, I shouldn't have been hit..."
"Impossible, AIDS is so far away from us, how can I be so unlucky. ”
The emergence of AIDS in the student population is not entirely due to promiscuity. Parents avoid talking about "sex", schools have not been educated, many students feel that "AIDS" is far away from them, and the number of AIDS patients among adolescents has risen sharply due to unprotected sexual behavior.
The lag in sex education has allowed AIDS to invade schools.
HIV prevention tips
1
As a student in the new era, we should actively learn and understand the knowledge and skills of HIV/AIDS prevention and control, and take the initiative to join the school's HIV/AIDS prevention volunteer student club.
2
Make friends online and meet offline, and improve safety awareness. Avoid getting drunk and stay away from drugs, especially new drugs disguised as biscuits, milk tea, popping candy, drinks, etc.
3
Unprotected men who have sex with men are the most common form of infection among young students, and condoms are used for sex.
4
If high-risk behaviors occur, you should consult with local disease prevention and control institutions or medical institutions as soon as possible, and use blockers no later than 72 hours.
High-risk behaviors should be tested for HIV after 3 weeks, and self-testing can also be done. HIV prevention starts with me.
Young students are supposed to be a vibrant group full of dreams and hopes, but now they are overshadowed by AIDS. Both parents and teachers should promptly popularize correct sexual health knowledge among adolescents and educate them to establish correct sexual concepts.
END
There is an urgent need to standardize sex education for young people
The family is a child's first school, and parents are the child's first teacher. "The topics of 'sex knowledge' and 'sex education' cannot be kept secret.
Targeted science popularization for young people of different ages can effectively activate the awareness of self-protection and help young people establish a correct concept of sexuality and understand responsibility and love.
