After the HIV virus enters the human body, it reproduces and replicates in the blood system, then attacks the human immune system, causing a severe deficiency in immune function, leading to a decrease in the body's resistance. When the immune system is weakened, it will be accompanied by invasions of various pathogens and even the occurrence of various malignant tumors.

Is herpes zoster AIDS?

Dyshidrosis belongs to a type of allergic disease and is categorized under eczema, commonly occurring on both hands. This condition has a high incidence rate and has no relation to HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS, caused by sexual contact or blood transmission, leads to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and is distinctly different from dyshidrosis. Dyshidrosis can be completely cured through conventional anti-allergy treatments or by applying topical steroid creams. On the other hand, once infected with HIV/AIDS, treatment can be complicated, requiring long-term medication to suppress viral replication, but it cannot be completely cured. Dyshidrosis is not related to HIV/AIDS, nor is it a preliminary symptom of HIV/AIDS; there is no connection between the two.

How much is the AIDS blocking drug?

If the initial HIV screening test performed at a general hospital is positive, doctors will recommend that you go to the local disease control center for further confirmatory testing, which is free of charge. If the confirmatory test is positive, the disease control center will register and create a file for you, and provide free antiviral treatment. This fully demonstrates the care and attention China provides to people with HIV.

Can you get AIDS from oral sex?

Generally speaking, it is possible to contract HIV through oral sex. If the skin and mucous membranes of the areas involved are intact and there are no wounds, then the chance of infection is relatively small. However, if the skin and mucous membranes of the contact areas are damaged or have wounds, then the risk of infection significantly increases.

What department should I go to for AIDS testing?

AIDS is a severe immunodeficiency disease characterized by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus. Its main modes of transmission are sexual activity, blood, and mother-to-child transmission, with sexual transmission accounting for over 95%. Therefore, when we go to the hospital for AIDS testing, we generally need to visit the dermatology department or the department of venereology.

Is the HIV test paper accurate?

The test papers for AIDS, whether domestically produced or imported, have an accuracy rate exceeding 90%, with some even reaching 95% to 97% or more. As for the accuracy of these results, the key depends on two factors: first, whether the testing method you use is accurate, and second, whether the testing is conducted after the window period has passed.
