Most AIDS patients will die from AIDS, but due to differences in our living conditions, living environment, mental state, treatment plans, and treatment conditions, there are a few people who may just be carriers of AIDS for life without progressing to the AIDS stage. Such people might die from their normal life expectancy rather than from AIDS, which is possible.

What is the confirmed rate of suspected AIDS?

If you have engaged in high-risk behaviors or are experiencing symptoms similar to those of AIDS, you should not speculate about whether you have contracted HIV. The only approach is to go to the hospital for testing. Generally, after the window period has passed, you should go to the hospital for a screening test. If the screening test is positive, further tests should be conducted at the disease control center to confirm the diagnosis. Only through this process can it be determined whether you have AIDS or not.

Is a red spot on the arm AIDS?

Red spots on the arm are not necessarily an indication of AIDS; they could be a rash, folliculitis, or other skin diseases. The symptoms of AIDS are not very typical and lack distinct features. It is not possible to diagnose AIDS based on external signs and clinical symptoms alone. To confirm or rule out AIDS, it is necessary to conduct an HIV antibody screening, and a negative result can exclude the infection.

Can an airplane cup (fleshlight) transmit AIDS?

Using a masturbation cup alone will not result in contracting AIDS. However, if the masturbation cup is shared with an AIDS patient, there is a risk of infection. This can occur if the AIDS patient leaves bodily fluids or secretions on the masturbation cup, and the next user's mucous membranes come into contact with these fluids, potentially leading to HIV infection.

Is gonorrhea AIDS?

Gonorrhea is not AIDS. Gonorrhea is a disease caused by the infection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae primarily in the genital area, commonly manifesting as painful urination, urinary urgency, discharge from the urethra, and fever. It is a type of sexually transmitted disease. AIDS, on the other hand, is caused by infection with the HIV virus, which destroys the body's immune system, leading to a severe decline in immune functions and thereby causing a series of related opportunistic infections. The pathogen of AIDS is the HIV virus. AIDS is difficult to cure, whereas gonorrhea can be completely cured.

How did AIDS originate?

AIDS is primarily contracted through sexual transmission, blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. After infection with the HIV virus, it destroys the body's immune function and invades the immune system, leading to a severe decline and defects in immune function. As a result, a series of opportunistic infections and opportunistic tumors may occur. Once AIDS is definitively diagnosed, it requires scientific and reasonable comprehensive treatment including antiretroviral therapy.
