Female college students had repeated oral ulcers and were finally diagnosed with HIV. Doctor: three early symptoms of AIDS

Try to infer when and how you contracted the virus. Oral ulcers are one of the early symptoms of HIV infection, which is the key for doctors to infer that Xiao Li may be infected with HIV. HIV is a virus that damages the body's immune system and can cause a variety of infections and diseases. HIV is a human immunodeficiency virus, of which about 20 million people need antiviral treatment. HIV is infected through blood transfusion and syringe sharing, and pregnant women infected with HIV are transmitted to their newborns through placenta, delivery, breast milk and so on. Although the number of HIV infections in China is relatively low compared with other countries, the prevention and control of HIV has become one of the urgent tasks. It's a virus that can damage the body's immune system. When HIV infection enters the human body, the immune system gradually loses its protection against various infections and diseases. AIDS is an advanced disease of HIV infection.

Xiao Li is a college student. She often shows up.Mouth ulcersOh, I feel very uncomfortable.

Many methods have been tried, but to no avail. Finally, she decided to go to the hospital.

In the hospital, the doctor examined Xiao Li, but found nothing abnormal.

The doctor asked Xiao Li about her recent lifestyle and behavior, and Xiao Li replied that sheThere is no dangerous behavior.

The doctor advised Xiao Li to carry out some tests in the hope of finding the cause.

A few days later, the test results came back.

When the doctor saw Xiao Li's test sheet, he solemnly told Xiao Li that her bodyCarrying the HIV virus.

Xiao Li was so shocked that she didn't even know how she contracted the virus.

Xiao Li began to recall his recent behavior, trying to infer when and how he was infected with the virus.

She remembered that she had participated in an activity a few months ago.Accidentally contaminated the skin wound with someone else's blood.

She didn't care because she didn't feel that she had been hurt too much.

Xiao Li's inference was confirmed by the doctor.

The doctor told herThe HIV virus lurks for a long time before it shows symptoms.

Xiao Li regretted his negligence, but he also knew that he had to receive treatment and management in order to control the development of the disease.

Oral ulcer is one of the early symptoms of HIV infectionThis is also the key for doctors to infer that Xiao Li may be infected with HIV.

HIV is a virus that can damage the human immune system and may lead to a variety of infections and diseases, and eventually lead to the occurrence of AIDS. Early detection and treatment can effectively control the progress of the disease.

First, HIV.

HIV is a human immunodeficiency virus that destroys the body's immune system, causing the body to be unable to resist a variety of pathogens, and eventually develops into AIDS.

At presentThe number of HIV infections worldwide is about 38 million.About 20 million of them need antiviral treatment. There are three main ways of transmission of HIV:

• Sexual transmissionIt is transmitted between men and women and between men and women of the same sex, of which the most common is male sex.
• Blood transfusion and mother-to-child transmissionHIV is infected through blood transfusion and syringe sharing, and pregnant women infected with HIV are transmitted to their newborns through placenta, delivery, breast milk and so on.
• Other waysFor example, through the sharing of toothbrushes, razors, syringes and other personal items, as well as exposure to accidents in the course of medical treatment.

In China, the number of HIV infections has increased year by year since it was introduced into China in the 1980s.

As of the end of 2021More than 1.2 million people in Chinese mainland have been infected with HIV, about 20 per cent of whom have developed AIDS.

Although the number of HIV infection in China is relatively low compared with other countries, with the increase of floating population and sexual liberalization, the prevention and control of HIV has become one of the urgent tasks.

Second, HIV= AIDS?

HIV and AIDS are not exactly the same, but they are closely related.

HIV is an acronym for human immunodeficiency virusIs a virus that can damage the body's immune system.

When HIV infection enters the body, it attacks certain cells in the body's immune system, which play a key role in fighting disease.

If untreated, HIV will gradually destroy these immune cells, causing the immune system to gradually lose its protection against various infections and diseases.Eventually lead to the occurrence of AIDS.

AIDS is an advanced disease of HIV infection.Refers to a series of symptoms and complications after HIV infection.

AIDS patients with impaired immune system will be more likely to suffer from a variety of infections, cancer and other diseases, and may even lead to death.

therefore,Although HIV and AIDS are not exactly the sameBut it is often treated and talked about as the same disease in daily life.

Skin rash, oral ulcers and nausea.

AIDS is a viral infection caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

After the first infection of HIVThere may be a series of early symptoms calledAcute infection periodThis period is also known as"window period"GeneralLast for 2-4 weeks, but it may also be asymptomatic or mild, resulting in undetected symptoms.

The most common early symptoms are flu-like symptoms., for exampleFever, sore throat, headache, muscle pain and fatigueWait.

These symptoms are not specific, meaning they may also be manifestations of other viral infections.

However, unlike other infections, these symptoms may, to some extent, last longer, usually more than a week.

In the early stages of HIV infection, the body's immune system is still struggling with the virus, so the body may produce antibodies to fight the virus. This reaction may lead toEnlarged lymph nodes, especiallyLymph nodes near the neck, armpit and groin.

If these lymph nodes are enlarged for more than three months, HIV testing should be considered.

Other early symptoms may include rashes, oral ulcers and nausea.

These symptoms usually disappear after the acute infection period, butThis does not mean that the virus has been cleared.

At the initial stage of infection, the HIV virus replicates in large quantities, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of viruses. Then, the human immune system gradually controls the replication of the virus.But the virus still exists in the body and continues to attack the immune system.

In summary, the early symptoms of HIV infection are not specific and may be similar to those of other viral infections, butIt lasts longer.

Fourth, the most effective way of prevention.

To prevent HIV infection, we can take the following measures:

• Safe sexAvoid unsafe sex, such as using condoms, reducing sexual partners, etc.
• Blood transfusion safetyEnsure the safe use of blood and do not accept unguaranteed blood transfusion services.
• Drug controlAvoid using injecting drugs, not sharing syringes with others, etc.
• Periodic inspectionRegular HIV detection, early detection and early treatment.

In a word, the importance of preventing HIV infection can not be ignored.

Only through the efforts of the whole society can we effectively prevent and control the spread of HIV and contribute to the realization of global health.
