How do I know if I have HIV?
If you take a blood test and it's positive for HIV, go to a hospital and get tested.
Guidance:
AIDS is a chronic lethal HIV-induced infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (human immunodeficiency virus-HIV). HIV infection leads to deficiencies in the body's immune function, resulting in a series of clinical syndromes such as opportunistic infections, with a mortality rate of almost 100%. HIV belongs to the family of retroviruses, the genus Lentivirus, the subgenus Primate Immunodeficiency. HIV belongs to the genus Lentivirus, subgenus Primate Immunodeficiency.
How AIDS is transmitted
HIV transmission is mainly through sexual intercourse, exchange of body fluids, and mother-to-child transmission. The main body fluids are: semen, blood, vaginal secretions, breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue in people with neurological symptoms. Other bodily fluids, such as tears, saliva and sweat, are present in small amounts and do not generally contribute to HIV transmission.
Saliva is very unlikely to transmit HIV. That's why kissing is usually not contagious. However, if a healthy person has a cut or a rupture in their mouth and a person with AIDS also has a rupture in their mouth and they kiss, HIV can be transmitted through the bloodstream. Sweat does not transmit HIV. It is also impossible to transmit HIV from objects that an AIDS patient has touched. However, razors and toothbrushes used by AIDS patients may contain a small amount of the patient's blood, and towels may contain semen. If you share personal hygiene products with a patient, you may be infected. However, patients who get AIDS from sexual promiscuity often have other sexually transmitted diseases, so if you share personal hygiene products with them, even if you don't get infected with AIDS, you may get infected with other diseases. Therefore, personal hygiene products should not be shared.
Since HIV cannot be transmitted through normal contact, people living with HIV should not be discriminated against and should not be infected by eating together or shaking hands. Foods and soups eaten by AIDS patients are not contagious. HIV is very fragile and will die within a few minutes of leaving the body and being exposed to air. Although AIDS is very scary, the virus is not very transmissible and it is not spread through our daily activities, i.e. we cannot get infected by kissing, shaking hands, hugging, eating together, sharing office supplies, toilets, swimming pools, telephones, sneezing, etc. It does not matter if you are caring for someone who is infected with the virus or someone who is suffering from AIDS.
Hospitals, Maternal and Child Health Centers, and the CDC can check, and you should have a physical exam once a year.
