How should I deal with the fact that I have AIDS?

For the physical examination report suggesting HIV infection, it is necessary to clarify whether it is a routine hospital physical examination or a confirmation report issued by the CDC. If it is a routine physical examination out of the initial screening positive, then this situation is required to go to the local CDC for a confirmatory examination.The diagnosis is confirmed or ruled out through CDC testing; routine physical exams cannot be used to confirm an HIV infection.

If there is a change in theAfter a clear diagnosis of HIV infection, it is recommended that anti-viral medication be administered under the supervision of a doctor.The current recommendation is to use antiviral medications promptly after a definitive diagnosis, regardless of the CD4 value, to reduce or slow down the damage caused by the virus to the body's immune system, to improve the quality of life, and to prolong life expectancy.

HIV is primarily transmitted through sex, blood, and mother-to-child transmission, so avoid sex after a definitive diagnosis has been made.If sex occurs, it must be informed and safe.It is an offense to knowingly spread AIDS.

In terms of work.Unless there is a restriction on some special jobs, many regular jobs are possible. And general job physicals don't test for HIV and STDs.

For the factor of HIV infection, there is no blood transfusion, exclude congenital transmission, then consider that it belongs to sexual transmission. In theory.Condom use can effectively reduce the probability of contracting HIV, but it cannot be absolutely avoided. The more sexual partners you have, the more likely you are to be infected with a sexually transmitted disease.



So, to summarize, there are a few points to be faced at this point, including:

1. clarify the diagnosis, if it is not part of the CDC issued a confirmatory report recommended to go to the CDC to check.

2. If a diagnosis has been made, the partner needs to be informed, unprotected sex needs to be avoided, and the partner must be informed.

3. Timely and standardized use of antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Regular life, regulate the mind, unless some special positions, routine work is possible.

I specialize in HIV prevention and treatment at the CDC, and this issue is one that I face the most. Many infected people are reluctant to believe that this is true when they get their diagnosis reports, and some are even on the verge of collapse. When I face these infected people, I will patiently and carefully explain all kinds of medical problems to you, give them confidence, and let them face their future life bravely.

I won't go into the basics of AIDS here, but let me introduce the latest progress in AIDS research.

In the past, many people thought that once infected with AIDS, they could only wait for death, and AIDS was regarded as an incurable disease. But now, with the deepening of AIDS research and scientific progress, AIDS has become a chronic disease that is preventable, controllable, treatable and incurable, and is close to a functional cure. We should believe that AIDS can be completely cured in the near future, and hasn't the University of Hong Kong recently reported on the progress of AIDS-related therapeutic research?

So it's okay to be infected, just face it properly. The only difference is that it may be accompanied by regular daily medication and occasional checkups for the rest of your life.

Therefore, what should you do if you are infected with HIV?

First, the correct face, to have confidence in life, must be optimistic, because life is like a mirror, you optimistic face, back to you is certainly optimistic side, happy day, depressed and unhappy is also a day, the day is the same, why can not be happy over it?

Second, you must take the medication on time, follow the arrangement of the CDC or the staff of the community health center (township hospital), and go to check the liver and kidney function, blood routine, CD4 and viral load on time. Many people may learn from the Internet that there are a lot of side effects from taking the medication, and this can be clearly said that there are definitely side effects, but they vary from person to person. In the first two to three months of taking the drug may appear rash, blood routine changes, etc., as long as you insist, usually after three months will be tolerated. If you can't tolerate it anymore, you can apply for a second-line drug.

Third, we must be active exercise, do not have smoking, drinking, late at night and too tired behavior, because these behaviors will damage the function of the immune system, and AIDS mainly make the human body's immune system run down.

I specialize in AIDS prevention and treatment at the CDC, so if you have any questions about AIDS, please send me a private message and I will respond to all of you. If you are gay and would like to do some volunteer work on AIDS prevention and treatment, please send me a private message, and we at the CDC will provide you with technical and financial support to carry out AIDS prevention and treatment work.

In real life, there are people who are infected somehow, and they don't know how they got infected with AIDS! In medical terminology, this part of the population is called an infected population with an unknown route of transmission, and if you don't believe me, you can look it up on the Internet, this is a fact that really exists! If I become one of those infected people, I have nothing to say, because I can't be washed away even if I jump into the Yellow River! If I am infected with AIDS, I can loudly announce to people that I don't do drugs, I am not gay, I have not been to prostitutes, and I don't have a history of blood sales and transfusions! At my age, it's even less likely to be a product of mother-to-child transmission! I can only say that God is unfair to me, disaster imposed on me, perhaps in a previous life did very bad things, and is now being retributed! It is a very painful and unfortunate thing to be infected with AIDS, and I can feel the coldness and warmth of the people in this world as the world looks at me with a kind of discrimination! I will not do to others what I would not want others to do to me. I will not take revenge on society like some people do, I will talk to the doctors when I go to see them and ask them to be careful with the protection, I will take the antiretroviral medication for AIDS on time and listen to the doctor's advice, and strive to live a few more years! Of course this premise is just hypothetical, no one wants to infect themselves with AIDS!

I think you are referring to AIDS as carrying the HIV virus. AIDS is AIDS, or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, a syndrome of defective immune function that occurs after human immunodeficiency virus infection as a result of the virus attacking the body's CD4+ T-lymphocytes, and if you are infected with HIV but are in the latent phase, you are HIV-positive, not AIDS.

Most of the tests for AIDS are for HIV antibodies, and about 80-90% of the HIV antibody positives are true HIV infections, while the rest are false positives.

After the initial positive screening, a confirmatory test from the CDC is usually required to confirm the diagnosis.

So, I don't really know, when you say you have AIDS, whether you mean positive initial screening or positive diagnosis (from the CDC), so I'll break it down into these two scenarios and explain it to you briefly below.

1. Positive initial screening

Generally 80-90% are really suffering from AIDS, and the probability may be a little higher if you have high-risk behaviors (including blood or blood product transfusions) or if the teacher has symptoms such as fever, lethargy, large lymph nodes, or diarrhea. If you don't have any of these behaviors and are completely asymptomatic, then the percentage is a little lower.

In the latter case, it is important to keep your emotions in check and wait patiently for the final test results from the CDC!

2. Confirmation of a positive diagnosis

This is the confirmed report. Positive basically means that you are infected with HIV. It depends on the situation. If you are a carrier or in the latent stage, please test the CD4+ T-lymphocyte count and take antiretroviral drugs in time for early treatment to restore your immune function. If symptoms have already appeared, it is the stage of AIDS, it is recommended to immediately go to the local AIDS specialist hospital, and early ART treatment, for the opportunity of immune reconstruction.

It is unfortunate to be infected with HIV, but fortunately, as long as one takes the medication regularly, does not stop taking it, and undergoes ART, then most people are able to keep HIV in their blood at a level that is undetectable by conventional instruments, and, if treated well, they can even obtain a life expectancy that is basically the same as that of a normal person, and, besides, I am sure that a new medication to treat HIV will be available soon. So, do not be too pessimistic.

Of course, it is also important to protect your privacy, discrimination still exists, this is a fact, but the prerequisite for protecting your privacy is to protect others, and never, ever, ever be careful and try to avoid passing the virus on to others. If you want others to respect you, you must first learn to protect others yourself.

In short, it's both, accept it openly, it's not curable but it's manageable, and in any case, in a word: protect your privacy and dignity, and at the same time protect the people around you.

AIDS is a group of syndromes in which the HIV virus attacks the human immune system and causes damage to the immune system; the HIV virus itself does not cause death. The main reason for the death of AIDS patients is the lack of their own immune system, the lack of resistance to the outside world, resulting in opportunistic infections or tumor infections.

So what should you be doing when you find out you have HIV?

First of all, when diagnosed with HIV, don't panic yet, stay calm, and notify your sexual partner to get tested for HIV at the CDC;

Then, under the guidance of CDC staff, antiretroviral treatment is started immediately. According to the latest national HIV antiretroviral treatment manual, it is recommended that antiretroviral treatment can be started for HIV-infected patients who are detected as long as the patient gives informed consent, i.e., the main purpose is to better control the viral load level in the patient's body and to improve the level of immunity of the organism. Therefore, starting treatment immediately after the discovery of HIV can effectively inhibit the replication of the virus in the body and improve the quality of life.

Finally, actively exercise, regular work and rest, improve their own immunity, avoid bad habits; at the same time, be sure to follow the doctor's instructions, on time standardized medication.

Everyone is in a state of ambivalence after learning that they have AIDS. It is both disbelieving and filled with infinite fear! The average person will also go back and forth to confirm that he or she really has the disease. Many people will go through the process of non-acceptance - resistance - passive acceptance - renewed hope. After falling ill, AIDS patients should accept this fact rationally. At present, through antiretroviral treatment, the quality of life of AIDS patients has been greatly improved, and their life expectancy is not much different from that of normal people. Moreover, it should be pointed out that the treatment for AIDS is free of charge and there are many preferential policies. Therefore, after learning that they have the disease, AIDS patients hope to remain hopeful about life. They should actively cooperate with the doctor's antiretroviral treatment, have a healthy mindset, and face life optimistically. At the same time, the patient's family and friends should also give more understanding and support, so that the patient no longer feel ostracized and lonely from the people around them.

Care for them, help them, make this world full of love, being cheerful note!

Routine hospital tests are only initial screenings and do not confirm infection with hiv, which may result in false positives. Confirmation of infection with hiv must be a corroborating report from the CDC test, if the corroborating report issued by the CDC is positive, then it means that it is really infected with the hiv virus.

hiv virus is also a chronic disease, can be treated by taking medication, will get good control, just at present there is no medicine can completely remove the virus, hiv infected person is also an ordinary normal people, not special people, can work normally, normal life, can get married. So you can't ask other people to treat hiv in a special way.

Confirmed infected with the hiv virus, you should cooperate with the examination, adhere to the medication, maintain a happy mood, adhere to the exercise, try to do not smoke and do not drink, control their diet.

The less people know about contracting hiv, the better. People's ignorance about hiv leads to the reality that there is extreme fear of hiv, because in our culture we feel that hiv is very contagious, and think that having hiv is a death sentence, and ignorance drowns out tolerance and understanding.

Thanks for the invitation. How should I deal with the fact that I have AIDS? AIDS originated in Africa, and is caused by impure relationships between men and women. With the spread of AIDS, our country has also become a rising trend in recent years. In the face of this situation, when you are suffering from AIDS, firstly, you have to treat it correctly and cooperate with the treatment. You need to go through a specialized hospital to confirm the diagnosis, whether it is negative or positive. You need to relax yourself. In the onset of the period to abstain from marital cohabitation, AIDS is transmitted through the blood beam, some belong to the direct transmission, but also indirect transmission, if when they are diagnosed with AIDS patients, our country is a full exemption from medical fees, as long as the patient seriously accept the treatment to do no longer go to the spread of the early stage of the patient can still recover, as the community can not be looked at in another way, we must organize a team of love to express their sympathies, to help patients with HIV/AIDS as soon as possible! Out of the dilemma. Do a healthy person!
