Doctor, an ordinary acute enteritis, is it so difficult to treat? It's been a whole week, the medicine has been taken, and the hanging bottle has been hung up, but the symptoms have not improved. The 62-year-old grandson developed a fever with diarrhea a week ago, in his words, after eating leftovers, and has been seeing a doctor in the emergency department, and the doctor treats it according to acute enteritis, but the symptoms have not improved.
In order to find out the cause, on the advice of the doctor, Lao Sun chose to be hospitalized.
After being hospitalized, the examination was more comprehensive, and soon, the doctor discovered the real cause of my grandson's diarrhea and fever - AIDS.
Doctor, are you mistaken? My dad is 62 years old, how could he get AIDS? Lao Sun's son was particularly incomprehensible and questioned that there was a problem with the inspection.
However, two results are in front of you, one is the test done by the hospital, and the other is the test sent to the CDC, in order to eliminate the error, the blood sent to the CDC is still the newly collected blood.
The evidence is ironclad, and it is impossible for a doctor to be mistaken.
Even so, it is surprising that a 62-year-old man has been diagnosed with AIDS.
Through inquiry, Lao Sun finally admitted that after the death of his wife ten years ago, he has been living alone, but Lao Sun has not been idle, he likes to dance square dance, because of his outstanding dance skills, and Lao Sun can speak well, and has a cheerful personality, so it is popular with women.
Lao Sun's female companion also changed and changed, Lao Sun said, I feel like I am back to my youth, he is addicted to this feeling and can't extricate himself, but he doesn't know that danger is also approaching him step by step.
Lao Sun said that when he was dancing, he knew a lot of female dance partners, and many times he couldn't control himself, and things that shouldn't have happened happened, but they tacitly knew each other, which not only made Lao Sun experience rare pleasure, but also made him more and more courageous.
In the end, Lao Sun paid a heavy price for his actions.
The doctor said that it was the frequent change of female companions and high-risk sexual behaviors that eventually caused the grandson to be infected with AIDS.
AIDS, also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is a systemic disease caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), also known as HIV.
AIDS can lead to a weakening of immunity, and for older people, the slightest carelessness can lead to serious infections, including lung infections, gastrointestinal infections, and urinary tract infections.
Because the air contains many pathogenic microorganisms, people are prone to lung infections when their immunity is weakened, and once infected, cough and sputum, chest pain, dyspnea and fever will occur.
The food we eat every day also contains microorganisms, and when the immunity is weakened, the gastrointestinal tract is also susceptible to infection, and once infected, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever will occur.
The urinary system is also an area prone to infection, which can cause fever, urinary frequency, urgency, and painful urination.
According to data released by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, by the end of 2022, 1.223 million people living with HIV had been reported in mainland China, and a total of 418,000 deaths had been reported.
When it comes to HIV/AIDS, the first thing that comes to mind is young people, after all, young people are more impulsive and active, but in recent years, a new infected group has emerged, that is, the elderly group.
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.
There are many reasons why this is the case.
In the traditional concept, people should not have any physiological needs when they are old, if there is, they are disrespectful to the old, and they will even be called old hooligans, but the elderly also have physiological needs, although they cannot be compared with young people, but the needs are also needed, if the normal physiological needs of the elderly are repeatedly suppressed, they may take risks.
In addition, many elderly people may have no wife, or the reason for divorce, a lonely life for a long time, coupled with the reluctance of children to live with the elderly, the elderly are even more lonely, emotionally lose sustenance, they will blindly seek stimulation, which will also bring danger.
Also, some elderly people think that they won't live for a few years anyway, and that they can live happily for a year, and they will break the jar and break it, which will also cause them to act impulsively.
Finally, some older people do not know what AIDS is and, due to a lack of knowledge, do not know how it is transmitted or how to protect themselves.
