AIDS vaginal

The HIV virus enters the human body through the vagina, which means that AIDS is transmitted through sexual intercourse. After entering the human body, it first exists in the blood. The HIV virus content in the blood can be checked 14 days after intercourse, and then timely treatment can be carried out. AIDS is an incurable disease that reproduces very quickly. Patients should receive timely treatment. It can exist in human semen and vaginal secretions.

Where does HIV hide?

After the HIV enters the human body, it first enters the blood, where it specifically attacks an important type of blood cell - the lymphocyte. Lymphocytes are a type of immune cell in the human body. These cells are the body's fighters against foreign pathogens.

Since HIV can survive and reproduce in lymphocytes, and then escape from the cells to invade new cells, blood is an important hiding place for HIV.

HIV also exists in human semen and vaginal secretions, so sexual activity is also one of the important ways of HIV transmission.

However, other human excretions, such as sweat, saliva, urine, tears and feces, do not contain or contain very little HIV, and therefore will not cause transmission. In addition, HIV can also invade the human brain and other parts of the body, but since the virus in these parts is not easily excreted from the body, it has little to do with the transmission of HIV.

HIV cannot survive in the bodies of some insects that bite humans (such as mosquitoes), so we don't have to worry about these insects transmitting HIV to us.

Do men and women have the same risk of infection from sexual intercourse?

Globally, most infections are acquired through sexual intercourse.

In countries where HIV is rampant, the number of infected men and women is roughly equal. However, women are usually infected at a younger age. This is due to the following reasons: older men generally choose younger women as sexual partners; young women have a low socioeconomic status and are in a passive position in gender relations; the physiological structure of young women makes them more susceptible to infection because the vaginal wall is very thin and is easily damaged by friction during sexual intercourse.

When the virus is transmitted through sexual intercourse, semen or vaginal secretions containing the virus pass through the mucous membranes and enter the blood vessels in the vaginal wall, penis, anus or mouth of the sexual partner. HIV can also be easily transmitted to the sexual partner through skin wounds on the penis.

HIV risk factors?

1. The number of drug users is still increasing

2. Rising proportion of intravenous drug use

3. The number of promiscuous people is increasing and the proportion of condom use is very low

4. Homosexuality is active and underground

5. The number of migrant population increases, and the awareness rate of AIDS prevention knowledge among the population is very low

The AIDS epidemic is controllable

Health education includes voluntary HIV antibody testing, standardized STD treatment, blood management, promotion of condom use, needle exchange/methadone substitution maintenance treatment, and antiviral treatment for pregnant women to reduce mother-to-child transmission.
