What does AIDS mean

First of all, AIDS is an infectious disease caused by chronic fatal HIV, caused by human immunodeficiency virus. HIV belongs to retrovirus, lentivirus and primate immunodeficiency subgenus. AIDS is mainly transmitted through reproduction, blood, mother to child and other behaviors. Mother to child transmission is the most important way, so women with AIDS had better not have children, which is unfair to children.

Then input the blood or blood products contaminated with HIV, transfuse the blood or blood products of the donors who have not been tested for HIV antibody, and transfuse the bone marrow and organ transfer value in similar cases; when rescuing the bleeding wounded, the damaged skin of the rescuer contacts the blood of the wounded. Blood transmission is the most direct route of infection.

Finally, most people who are infected with HIV do not feel sick at first, and no antibody can be detected in their serum. This period is called the window period, which is generally two weeks to three months, and then they enter the asymptomatic period, which ranges from a few months to more than ten years. Anti HIV antibody is detected in their serum. The process from HIV infection into human body, through the window period and asymptomatic period, to the emergence of AIDS syndrome is called HIV infection (HIV infection), and the infected person is called HIV carrier (HIV carrier) or infected person.
