The main group suffering from AIDS The elderly become the high incidence group of AIDS
AIDS is a dark disease that everyone is afraid of, usually transmitted through blood, mother to child and high-risk contact.
Once infected with HIV, the immune system will continue to be damaged, the multi material organs will be damaged, and eventually lose precious lives due to serious infection or malignant tumors.
The prevention of high-risk groups of AIDS is more important than treatment.
What is the current situation of AIDS in China?
It has been 40 years since the world first reported AIDS cases in 1981. By the end of 2020, China has appointed 1.053 million people infected with AIDS virus, with a cumulative death toll of 351 million. The proportion of homosexual and heterosexual people transmitting AIDS has increased significantly, and the proportion of injecting illegal goods to transmit HIV has decreased.
Who is the high-risk group of AIDS?
1. Young students
So far, young students are at high risk of HIV infection. In 2020, there were 3000 cases of 15-24 young students in China, of which high-risk contact behavior accounted for 98.6%, especially male homosexual transmission.
Due to the lack of relevant education and knowledge of growth, development and health among young students, college students are hormone active groups with poor awareness of safe contact behavior, and are high-risk groups for the spread of AIDS. Young students should master the methods of safe contact behavior, and high-risk contact behavior should be detected in the hospital in time.
2. Gay men
High risk contact between men is the main factor leading to HIV infection. Low education level, partners do not take protective measures in life, anal bleeding, multiple partners, simple herpes virus or syphilis infection may lead to HIV infection. It is noteworthy that many men choose to marry. With the growth of age, more and more people are getting married, and the proportion of marriage protection measures is low, which increases the risk of HIV infection for wives.
3. Older men
In recent years, the number of elderly men infected with HIV has increased dramatically. This is because old men have strong demand, and their wives cannot meet their sexual needs. Men meet their needs through high-risk sexual contact outside marriage; Many elderly men believe that their partners do not need to take protective measures in life and lack awareness of risk prevention; Old men are easy to buy cheap and various unknown drugs. Drug abuse can promote business risks, prolong time together and promote the spread of HIV.
