Can body fluids transmit AIDS?

AIDS is a terrifying disease and there is currently no good treatment, so many people are worried about being infected, especially when staying in a hotel. If you are not careful, you may be infected with AIDS. So what are the transmission routes of AIDS? Can body fluids transmit AIDS? Let’s take a look together!

AIDS is a zoonotic disease caused by infection with the HIV virus. HIV is a virus that attacks the human immune system. It targets the T4 lymphoid tissue, the most important part of the human immune system, destroying a large amount of T4 lymphoid tissue and causing highly fatal internal failure. This virus is contagious throughout the region for life, destroying the human immune balance and making the human body a carrier of various diseases.

HIV itself does not cause any disease. Instead, when the immune system is destroyed by HIV, the human body loses the opportunity to replicate immune cells due to low resistance, and becomes infected with other diseases, leading to various complex infections and death. AIDS is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse and the exchange of body fluids.

The main body fluids include: semen, blood, vaginal secretions, breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue of those with neurological symptoms. It is present in very small amounts in other body fluids, such as tears, saliva and sweat, and generally does not lead to the spread of HIV. The possibility of HIV being transmitted through saliva is very small. The chances of successful treatment are generally small. There is currently no effective vaccine to prevent AIDS, so the most important thing is to take preventive measures.

① Adhere to self-discipline, do not engage in prostitution, and avoid premarital and extramarital sexual behavior.

②Drug use is strictly prohibited and syringes should not be shared with others.

③ Do not transfuse blood or use blood products without authorization. Use them under the guidance of a doctor.

④ Do not borrow or share personal items such as toothbrushes, razors, and shaving knives.

⑤ Women infected with HIV should avoid pregnancy and breastfeeding.

⑥Using condoms is one of the most effective measures to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS during sexual life.

⑦ Avoid direct contact with the blood, semen, milk and urine of AIDS patients to cut off the transmission route.

As can be seen from the above, body fluids can transmit AIDS. AIDS can be transmitted in various ways, and can also be transmitted through sexual intercourse or blood. Therefore, in order to avoid being infected with AIDS, you must pay attention to your personal living habits and take preventive measures in advance, especially to keep yourself clean, not to misuse other people's things, and avoid contact with the blood of AIDS patients.
