Hi everyone, I'm a doctor who works with HIV at the CDC, and I'm here to answer your questions.

Paediatric AIDS was first detected in 1985 in China through contaminated blood products or blood transfusions, and the first confirmed case of a child infected with AIDS through mother-to-child transmission occurred in 1995. Today, the main source of pediatric AIDS is mother-to-child transmission.

After HIV infects the human body, it mainly attacks CD4+T lymphocytes and destroys other immune functions of the human body, thus causing various opportunistic infections and tumors. Clinical signs and symptoms of AIDS in children are mainly distributed in respiratory system-related diseases, digestive system-related diseases and blood system-related diseases. In principle, the treatment of pediatric AIDS includes antiretroviral therapy, supportive therapy, restoration of immune function, control of opportunistic infections and strengthening of nutrition, etc., but antiretroviral therapy is the most important. Since the widespread implementation of antiretroviral therapy, the mortality rate of pediatric AIDS has been significantly reduced, and the probability of suffering from other pathogens and conditional infections has been reduced, which has prolonged the lives of infected patients to a certain degree, and improved the quality of life. This has prolonged the lives of infected individuals and improved their quality of life. At the same time, adherence to paediatric AIDS treatment is often influenced by the age of the child, the knowledge of the guardian, and the complexity of the regimen.

Childhood AIDS, which is mainly transmitted from mother to child, can be prevented in time to a certain extent, and antiretroviral drugs have proved to be effective and safe in interrupting mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Mothers are tested during pregnancy, undergo regular check-ups, do not intentionally conceal their history of HIV infection, and are required to undergo mother-to-child transmission interruption, which is effectively prevented through medication, elective caesarean sections, and adjustments to breastfeeding practices.

If you have questions about HIV related issues you can follow the private message advice, thank you!

With the current medical technology can only control, not cure. But don't worry too much, the development of science and technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and now it can be controlled as a chronic disease, and living with the poison will not be life-threatening, and it is estimated that within ten years there will be a cure for the technology. Raise your children well, every child is an angel on earth.

Nowadays, medicine can't cure adults, and neither can children. It is possible to seek treatment from a folk doctor, and it is possible to be cured.

Ebola was quickly conquered by the U.S., and I believe that AIDS will soon be too, with a U.S. AIDS cure clinical next summer

A toddler with AIDS. It's sad, isn't it? What can you do if you've contracted it? You should grow up well. When medical technology reaches a point where there's a cure, it's really possible. Personally, I'd like to use Chinese medicine to nourish your body.

It is controllable and currently not curable. It's sad that children are born with AIDS, with the advancement of technology, may curable drugs be researched soon. Raise your child well.

About 75% of childhood AIDS is transmitted vertically from mother to child, mostly via the placenta, and may also be acquired during the perinatal period or during breastfeeding, or through the importation of contaminated blood or blood products. Current treatment for AIDS includes treatment of conditionally pathogenic infections, anti-HIV therapy, immune boosters, and supportive therapy to try to control viral replication, but it is difficult to achieve a complete cure.

The current level of medical care is not enough to cure, but only to control and delay the progression of the disease, so that in order to avoid the tragedy, prevention is very important

Currently, there is still no definite cure for AIDS in the medical field, so children cannot be cured of AIDS either. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is an infectious disease caused by the invasion of the lymphatic system by the human immunodeficiency virus. Since 1983, when Rubunsfein and others discovered the first case of pediatric AIDS in a child, the number of pediatric AIDS cases has increased significantly as the rate of HIV infection in women of childbearing age has risen. In 1985, the first case of AIDS was found in China, and in 1988, an 11-year-old hemophiliac with HIV-positive antibodies was found to have died of cerebral hemorrhage. Clinically, the disease is characterized by systemic symptoms such as fever, anorexia, malaise, enlarged lymph nodes, chronic diarrhoea, weight loss, etc., and gradually develops into tumours and various secondary infections and dies.

Theoretically, a child with AIDS can survive for about 10 years, but it depends on the individual's physical condition and the child's physical condition, and it may be treatable in the future with the development of medicine.

First of all, if you suspect HIV infection, you need to go to the hospital to take blood tests, and blindly worrying about it will not be able to play a therapeutic role. Secondly, if AIDS is diagnosed, antiretroviral therapy should be used as soon as possible to slow down the progress of the disease, so as to prolong the patient's survival.
