Received a text message saying that someone maliciously dripped AIDS blood into food to harm people. Is it true?/You don't say. Will AIDS really be infected like that?

A: That news has been proved to be a rumor. Don't believe it. You're okay. Absolutely no problem.

You can refer to the following information:

Although the appearance of HIV-infected people is the same as that of normal people, their blood, semen, vaginal secretions, skin and mucous membrane damage or inflammatory ulcer exudate all contain a large number of HIV, which is highly contagious; Milk also contains viruses, which are contagious. There are also viruses in saliva, tears, sweat and urine, but the virus content is small and not contagious. There are three ways to spread AIDS:

1, sexual communication

2. Blood transmission

People who inject drugs through intravenous injection use unsterilized syringes: blood or blood products of blood donors who have not been tested for HIV antibodies are imported, and bone marrow and organ transplantation are imported under similar circumstances; Disinfection of syringes and needles is incomplete and incomplete, especially for children, it is more dangerous if one needle and one tube are not disinfected; Syringes and needles contaminated by HIV are important carriers of HIV transmission through blood.

3, mother-to-child transmission

Pregnant women infected with HIV can transmit the virus to their babies through the placenta, through the birth canal during delivery, or through breastfeeding. Pregnant women with AIDS or HIV can directly transmit HIV to the fetus through the placenta, and can also infect the newborn before, during (through the birth canal) and after delivery (through breastfeeding). According to statistics, about 73% of the parents of AIDS babies are AIDS patients or high-risk groups of AIDS; All babies infected with HIV, the mother's serological test is positive; However, in families where the father carries the virus and the mother does not, no AIDS babies have been found so far. This shows that babies infected with HIV always come from mothers rather than fathers. In most cases, it is often the father who is infected first, then the mother and finally the baby.

4. Other ways

If organs contaminated by HIV are used for transplantation, HIV will also be implanted into the body. In addition, in the process of artificial insemination, accepting semen infected with HIV also creates opportunities for HIV infection. Professionals who come into contact with AIDS patients (such as medical personnel, police, hairdressers, prison guards and funeral personnel) may be infected if their skin is damaged and they are exposed to HIV. Although the saliva of AIDS patients contains HIV, so far, no cases of AIDS transmission through saliva or using cups have been found. This may be because saliva contains factors to prevent HIV infection, which can prevent the invasion of HIV. Therefore, kissing is not necessarily the way of AIDS transmission. 1In July, 1988, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a report on the route of AIDS transmission. The report pointed out that there is no indication that HIV is transmitted through saliva, tears, urine, tableware, epidemic bacteria or insects, indicating that HIV will not be transmitted through daily contact. HIV will not spread through air, drinking water, food and unconsumed tableware, clothes, bedding, money and other items. Generally, you don't have to worry about shaking hands with AIDS patients, kissing or using telephones, toilets, tables and chairs to get infected. Tourist swimming pools and public baths are generally not infected with AIDS. All kinds of livestock can't carry HIV, so AIDS won't spread through animal bites and scratches.

A method of not spreading HIV

Air; Drinking water and food; Daily work and life contact; Swimming pool; Blood-sucking insects and mosquitoes, fleas, lice, etc. No bloodsucking insects that spread HIV have been found; Protective nursing, nursing AIDS patients; Squat toilets and urinals;

Care should be taken to avoid accidental infection.

1, kiss

It should be safe for foreigners to kiss lips and cheeks when the lips, tongue and oral mucosa are intact. Mouth-to-mouth kissing, especially deep kissing and long kissing, or injury or ulcer of lips, tongue and oral mucosa, is contagious.

Step 2 shake hands

It should be safe to shake hands if the skin of both hands is not damaged.

Step 3 hug

It is safe to hug through clothes. If it comes into direct contact with the skin, the skin is scratched or suffers from skin diseases, it is dangerous.

Step 4: Eat

Although China's * * * diet system has not been found to spread AIDS, it is an unhealthy eating habit and should be advocated.

5. Use condoms during sexual intercourse

Proper use of condoms can reduce the chance of HIV infection to a certain extent, but there is still the risk of HIV infection when using condoms for sexual promiscuity, because condoms may break and slip off during sexual intercourse, and the failure rate is about 10%, that is, 10 failures may occur in sexual intercourse with condoms. Therefore, people involved in prostitution and promiscuity must cherish their lives and stop this high-risk sexual behavior immediately. Using condoms to prevent AIDS is not a safe and reliable method, nor can condoms be regarded as condoms or condoms. Only a clean life is the most reliable.

6.* * * Use the toilet

The toilet seat has been disinfected, or the toilet seat is absolutely not polluted by the patient's semen, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions, and the skin contacting the toilet seat is not damaged or dermatosis should be safe.
