How can parents counsel their sons with AIDS?

I don't know. Because it hasn't been experienced. But I want to:

One, let him know that I will always love him, not discriminate, hate, or look down on him, and encourage him to be positive about his treatment.

Two, believe that there will be a day of healing.

Third, encourage him to have a good mindset, love life and live it bravely.

Fourth, face up to AIDS, do not give him pressure, tell family members and relatives, friends and acquaintances never mention AIDS and other topics, to create a relaxed environment.

I am specialized in AIDS prevention and treatment, and I do encounter a lot of this question raised by the questioner in the course of my work, so let me answer it.

Parents who want to enlighten their sons who are infected with AIDS must first learn about AIDS!

Let's talk about AIDS for a moment:

I. What is AIDS?

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Dyndrome) is an extremely dangerous infectious disease caused by infection with the AIDS virus (HIV), a virus that attacks the body's immune system, causing the body's immune system defects. It takes CD4T lymphocytes, the most important cells in the human immune system, as its main target and destroys them in large numbers, causing the body to lose its immune function. As a result, the human body is easy to be infected with various diseases, and malignant tumors can occur, with a high rate of death.The incubation period of HIV in the human body is 2-10 years on average, with a minimum of half a year, and a maximum of up to 25 years, and it is possible to live and work for many years without any symptom before suffering from AIDS.

II. How is AIDS transmitted?

that there are three modes of transmission of AIDS: blood, mother-to-child and sexual.

It is not transmitted by the following routes:

III. Treatment of AIDS

The treatment for AIDS is now called cocktail therapy, or antiretroviral (HARRT) therapy, and this treatment is now well established. Although AIDS cannot be completely cured, more and more research is now showing that it can be functionally cured, which means that life expectancy is largely unaffected! Many people are asking if the side effects of the medication are significant. AIDS treatment drugs definitely have side effects, but only in the first three months of taking the drugs, the body may experience some symptoms (such as skin rash, abnormal liver and kidney function), but after three months of tolerance, the body will basically have no side effects.

IV. Follow-up on AIDS

Once you find out that you are infected with HIV, then it is important to follow the medical advice of the CDC medical staff. Take your medication regularly, get your CD4T checked regularly, get your liver and kidney work checked regularly, get your chest X-ray checked regularly, get your viral load checked regularly, etc!

V. Precautions in the life of AIDS patients

AIDS mainly attacks the body's immune system, so patients must not do things that damage the immune system, such as smoking, drinking and staying up late! They should exercise actively, be optimistic, etc!

VI. How long can one live with AIDS?

This is a question I get a lot. How long can you live with AIDS? As soon as you are found to be infected with AIDS and take your medication regularly, your life expectancy is basically unaffected. More and more studies now support this conclusion. The most famous one is the famous American NBA star Magic Johnson, who was found to be infected with HIV in 1991 and is still alive and healthy.

So how do parents enlighten? To let the child have enough confidence can live well, let the child's mind optimistic, brave to face!

Any of you have AIDS related inquiries, just leave a comment!


Now that you've established that you definitely have the disease, you should stop asking how you got it. What's the point of asking questions about something that's already happened, and active treatment is the only way to get to the true lack of it.

AIDS takes CD4T lymphocytes, the most important cells in the human immune system, as the main target of attack, destroying a large number of these cells and causing the body to lose its immune function. As a result, the human body is easily infected with various diseases and can develop malignant tumors, with a high death rate.The incubation period of HIV in the human body is 8 to 9 years on average, and one can live and work without any symptoms for many years before suffering from AIDS.


HIV-infected patients will develop into AIDS patients only after several years, or even up to 10 years or longer incubation period, because of the extreme decline in body resistance will develop a variety of infections, such as herpes zoster, oral mycobacterial infections, tuberculosis, special pathogenic microorganisms caused by enteritis, pneumonia, encephalitis, Candida, Pneumocystis carinii, and other pathogens caused by a variety of serious infections, etc., and the late stage of the malignant tumors often occur, and a Long-term consumption to the point of systemic failure and death.

But now the cocktail therapy of the Chinese scientist Ho Tai-yi Dai-yi, although it does not cure AIDS, it can enable AIDS patients to have the same life expectancy as normal people, only that they need to take medication regularly, and there is no need to be afraid of death in this case. You can tell your children about it.

In addition, you can get pregnant and have a child with AIDS, you can have a healthy child if you do a quarantine, but it's harder to find a girlfriend. Take your time, AIDS will be cured sometime in the future.

Thank you for the invitation to answer, I want to make it clear to you, infected with HIV virus can still live 30 years 40 years, the same work, the same life, the same patients can also get married. I am the Shanghai Blood Disease Research Center, to nearly 200 HIV carriers investigation and research together for nearly 5 years, to my feelings, they are living a very happy life, every day also out of the work to go to work, their own washing, learning to live, every day, adhere to the medication, adhere to exercise. The state has free medication and living subsidies for HIV carriers, and there are also people who have remarried, and according to accurate information, the babies they give birth to can also be healthy. There is no complete cure, but there have been cases where the HIV virus has not been detected for 20 years. As long as the virus in the body is controlled at a low level, or even long-term control to 0. It is indeed necessary to avoid colds or other infectious diseases, the body's immune system is destroyed, the disease can only rely on the outside of the medication, other people have to take a week to catch a cold, your child's cold may take a month to get well. Maintain a healthy and positive mindset, life can be just as meaningful and wonderful. I hope my answer can help you.
