AIDS is a very harmful infectious disease, caused by HIV infection. HIV is a virus that can attack the human immune system. It targets the most important T lymphocytes in the human immune system as its main target, extensively damaging them and causing the body to lose its immune function. Therefore, the human body is susceptible to various diseases, can develop malignant tumors, and has a high mortality rate. The incubation period of HIV in the human body is 8~9 years on average. Before suffering from AIDS, people can live and work for many years without symptoms.
Where is the origin of AIDS?
Research shows that AIDS originated in Africa and was brought to the United States by immigrants. On June 5, 1981, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported five cases of AIDS in the incidence rate and Mortality Weekly, which was the first official record of AIDS in the world. In 1982, the disease was named "AIDS". Soon after, AIDS spread rapidly to all continents. In 1985, a foreigner who traveled to China died soon after he became ill and stayed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and was later confirmed to have died of AIDS, which was the first case of AIDS in China.
People infected with HIV will develop into AIDS patients after several years, or even 10 years or longer incubation period. Due to the extreme decline of body resistance, there will be multiple infections, such as Shingles, oral mold infection, tuberculosis, enteritis, pneumonia, encephalitis caused by special pathogenic microorganisms, candida, pneumocystis and other serious infections caused by a variety of pathogens. Later, malignant tumors often occur, and long-term consumption occurs, To the point of systemic exhaustion and death.
Although many medical researchers around the world have made great efforts, so far no specific drugs have been developed to eradicate AIDS, and no effective vaccine can be used for prevention. AIDS has been listed as a Class B Notifiable disease in China, and has been listed as one of the infectious diseases in the frontier health monitoring.
How long can I live with AIDS
A healthy person is generally divided into three stages from HIV infection to death. The first stage is called the acute HIV infection stage. After infection, a small number of infected people will have symptoms similar to influenza, such as fever, pharyngitis, rash, Lymphadenopathy, etc. These symptoms will disappear naturally within 2-3 weeks.
