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.

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.

Is AIDS scary?

AIDS, also known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, can be understood literally as a sexually transmitted disease characterized primarily by severe immune deficiency caused by HIV infection. Once it develops into AIDS, it ultimately leads to death due to various opportunistic infections and secondary tumors. It spreads very quickly and has a high mortality rate. Currently, there is no effective treatment, making it one of the main lethal infectious diseases in humans. Therefore, AIDS is currently considered terrifying.

Is AIDS fatal?

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 are the body fluid transmissions of AIDS?

Actually, it is quite difficult for the HIV virus to be transmitted through bodily fluids because the HIV virus mainly exists in the blood, semen, vaginal secretions, cervical mucus, breast milk, as well as amniotic fluid, ascites, and pleural effusion of those infected with HIV. Other body fluids, such as sweat, urine, tears, and feces, generally do not contain the virus or contain it in extremely minute amounts, and are unlikely to facilitate transmission. AIDS is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, blood transmission, and from mother to child, and is not transmitted through ordinary contact.

How to test for AIDS?

If you suspect you might have HIV for various reasons, or if you have had high-risk sexual behaviors, we generally recommend that patients go to a formal hospital and have a blood test for HIV screening. It's usually best to get tested between 1 and 2 months after potential exposure. If the test is negative, HIV can generally be ruled out. If the sexual behavior was high-risk, then another test can be conducted at the end of the third month. If there is frequent high-risk sexual activity, then another follow-up test can be done at six months. If all tests are negative, HIV can be ruled out. If a test is positive, further confirmatory tests should be done at a disease control center.
