Why can AIDS be transmitted through sex

summary

When we heard about AIDS, we all felt very alarmed. Normal life in general will not infect ordinary people. Only sexual transmission, girl to child transmission and blood transmission will be very likely to spread to people, let's talk about why AIDS can be transmitted through sexual behavior.

Why can AIDS be transmitted through sex

First: whether it is homosexual, heterosexual, or sexual contact between the two sexes will lead to the spread of AIDS. HIV infected semen or vaginal secretions have a lot of virus, in sexual activity, due to the friction of sexual parts, it is easy to cause subtle damage of genital mucosa, at this time, the virus will take advantage of the situation, into the uninfected blood. The risk of anal sex is greater than that of vaginal sex because the intestinal wall of the rectum is more likely to be damaged than the vaginal wall.

Second: AIDS is transmitted through sexual contact. It is mainly unprotected sexual behavior, which will lead to small wounds on the penis skin of men. If the wounds and urethral mucosa come into contact with the vaginal secretions of women, they may be infected, but the risk of infection is very small. If the other party is AIDS patients or virus carriers, the other party has unprotected sex, it is recommended that you do HIV antibody test after 12 weeks of contact.

Third: whether women's vagina and vulva, or men's penis and perineum, as long as there is a slight abrasion of the skin or mucous membrane, it may be infected; this kind of slight abrasion occurs frequently during sexual intercourse. HIV is most likely to invade Langerhans cells in the oral cavity, rectum, vaginal mucosa or other parts of the skin. It first proliferates in Langerhans cells, and then enters the blood and spreads to the whole body, because there are a large number of Langerhans cells on the surface of mucosa and skin.

matters needing attention

Only strict control of certain contact can well avoid the spread of AIDS, AIDS is also a more terrible disease, once suffering from, to avoid having sex with normal people. If you don't pay attention to it, it is very likely to infect people, so it is necessary to isolate them.
