You are so old and have AIDS, you are really disrespectful to the old, this has to be spread, how can we live as children! In the ward, a middle-aged man yelled at an old man, hoarse.
And the old man just sat on the hospital bed in a daze, without saying a word.
From the moment the old man was hospitalized, his fate was changed.
This is a 63-year-old male patient, hospitalized for unexplained fever and diarrhea, and his family took the elderly to the outpatient clinic for a week, took a lot of medicine, but the symptoms never improved.
had no choice but to be hospitalized, but the final results of the examination were beyond everyone's expectations, and the culprit of the old man's fever and diarrhea was actually AIDS.
AIDS, supposedly, is not a rare disease, but the problem is that he is 63 years old, and he still has AIDS, which many people can't understand.
After the diagnosis, the family of the old man found the doctor and asked repeatedly, doctor, are you mistaken, our father is 63 years old, how can he get this disease?
But the evidence is overwhelming, how could the doctor be mistaken!
In the end, under the questioning of the children, the old man admitted that he had indeed had the experience of high-risk sexual behavior, and the more the old man said that his children were shocked, they did not expect that their father would have such an experience, and he would be such a person, which was really ruined.
Even so, it may sound strange for a 63-year-old to be infected with HIV, but for doctors, it has long been taken for granted, because in recent years, it has become common for older people to be infected with HIV.
The elderly AIDS group is a group that is easily ignored by society, but it is also a group that is emerging from the United States.
According to an article released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Prevention (CDC), the proportion of newly reported HIV infections and patients aged 50 and above in mainland China has increased significantly, from 22% in 2011 10 years ago to 44% in 2020. Comparing several provinces where HIV/AIDS first began to spread, the provinces with the highest proportion of newly reported HIV infections and patients in 2020 accounted for more than 60% of patients aged 50 and above.
Of course, the data released by the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention and AIDS is very authoritative, because AIDS is a Class B infectious disease, and it must be reported level by level.
The question is, why is the elderly AIDS population popping up?
Many people actually have a misunderstanding of the elderly, thinking that people have no physiological needs when they are old, which is very wrong, even if they are old, the elderly also have physiological needs, but many old people also have unspeakable hidden, some of the old people's wives have passed away, and some of the old people, the wives have suffered from all kinds of diseases, due to poor health, so the physiological needs can only be desperately suppressed.
Once it can't be suppressed, the elderly will take risks and do unexpected things.
Many elderly people live alone, they are very lonely, and their physiological needs are not released, and after a long time, they will blindly seek stimulation and put themselves in dangerous situations.
The elderly, the sense of self-protection is very poor, I have asked many elderly people infected with AIDS, some of them do not know what AIDS is, do not know that high-risk sexual behavior will lead to the spread of AIDS, although some people know, but feel that anyway, they are old and will not live for a few years, and they will be infected, so it doesn't matter.
The most important way to cause AIDS is sexual transmission, so the most important thing to prevent AIDS is to avoid high-risk sexual behaviors and protect yourself.
In addition, sharing needles and drugs can also lead to the spread of AIDS, so be cautious about making friends and never get involved in drugs.
Finally, don't share toothbrushes or razors with others, as they can also contribute to the spread of HIV.
