Let me answer this! I specialize in HIV prevention and treatment, so the questioner's question is exactly what I have encountered in the course of my work, real encounters, and cases that I have personally dealt with myself. Here I share it with you!

In one instance a confirmatory report came in from the hospital because the patient was diagnosed while he was hospitalized. I contacted the patient in the afternoon and told him to come to the CDC the next day to set up his file. The next day, they came to the CDC early in the morning, his wife accompanied him, and we immediately wrote a checklist for his wife, who was five months pregnant at this point. The results came back in the afternoon, and the initial screening was positive! We sent her blood samples to a higher level for testing, and the diagnosis of HIV infection was confirmed! She wanted to have this child very much, we immediately gave her HIV blocking treatment, and now a long period of time has passed, we tracked, the child is now very safe.

The question is, we can do the blocking treatment, the effective rate of the blocking treatment is more than 95%, which is very high, now more and more new drugs are developed for the blocking treatment, so don't worry that the child is not safe. However, the child should never be breastfed after birth because breast milk has a high HIV viral load!

The treatment of AIDS is becoming more and more mature, and recently there have been many reports of new drugs coming onto the market. AIDS can now be functionally cured, just like hepatitis B, which has become a chronic disease that can be prevented, controlled and treated.

There is also no need to worry about your information being leaked or anything else, as according to the AIDS Prevention and Control Ordinance, the information of AIDS patients is strictly confidential.

So what should you do if you are accidentally infected with HIV? To build up confidence, optimistic face, positive treatment will be fine. Leave a message if you have any questions, thank you!

First of all, I would like to say that at present, more than 95% of mother-to-child transmission can be blocked through the mother-to-child blocking technique, but there are still less than 5% of cases of blocking failure. If a woman is not infected before pregnancy but is found to be infected with HIV during pregnancy, usually the body's immunity is still relatively strong at this time, the replication rate of the virus is relatively low, and the probability of the virus being transmitted to the fetus through the uterus is also very low. With the addition of HIV-blocking drugs, it should be quite safe.

Although it is quite safe for the child to be born, whether to have a child or not, to have a child or not to have a child also has to take into account the future of the child, and it cannot be just to satisfy one's desire to be a mother. On the one hand, the mother is HIV-infected, then she is destined to be maintained on anti-viral drugs for a long time in the future. Although theoretically speaking, AIDS will become a chronic disease that can be controlled, but at present the longest survival time of hiv-infected people in China is only 21 years, the average is less than ten years. On the other hand, the child has to live with a hiv-infected person for a long period of time, and has to bear the risk of infection and mental stress that is difficult for ordinary people to bear. In addition, if the mother's infection is disclosed, the child's learning and socialization will also be seriously affected as he or she grows up.

In fact, when an HIV-infected woman gives birth to a baby, the chances of the baby being infected without intervention are only 25-30%; with comprehensive interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, the chances of the child being infected can be reduced to less than 5%. In the process of living together later, ordinary contact is also generally not contagious. Therefore, HIV-infected women also have the ability and right to have healthy children. I have also posted articles on this issue.

However, before having a child, it is important to carefully consider your health and the environment in which your child will grow up before making a decision. Be prepared for the worst and also ask yourself if you can handle it. After all, although the chances of being infected are small, once you are infected it is 100% and should not be treated sloppily.

On this issue on these, I am CDC licensed physician Wang Xiaoqian, want to know more about disease prevention and control of related knowledge you can see the articles I posted, you can also leave a message to consult.
