How to prevent AIDS?

Although AIDS cannot be cured at present, it can be completely prevented. The effective measures of personal prevention are to receive health education, raise awareness and cut off the route of transmission. The following behaviors are considered effective: (1) Love yourself completely and avoid premarital and extramarital sex and deep kissing.

(2) Don't use razors and toothbrushes with others. Avoid using unclean barber knives and pedicure knife.

(3) The unsterilized instruments do not need ear piercing, eyebrow tattooing and tattooing.

(4) Insist on using condoms in sexual life when you suspect that you or your partner are infected with HIV. But understand that using condoms can only reduce the risk of HIV infection by 85%. This is in terms of male condoms, and the female condoms that are now strongly advocated have increased the chances of preventing AIDS. Similar to traditional condoms, female condoms are soft and tough polyurethane fiber sleeves, which are as long as male condoms, but wider. The ring-shaped plastic at the closed end is used to fix the condom in the vagina during sexual intercourse, and the ring with the larger open end is unfolded outside the vulva. Because the female condom covers both the entrance of the female vagina and the base of the male penis, which are places where venereal ulcers occur and are vulnerable to HIV, the female condom can provide more protection for both men and women.

(5) Do not take drugs or use syringes with others until the drug addiction is cured.

(6) Avoid unnecessary injections, and use strictly sterilized syringes and therapeutic instruments when injections or medical and medical examinations (such as dental treatment) are needed.

(7) Avoid unnecessary blood transfusion. When blood transfusion is needed, use blood tested by HIV antibody.

If you have had AIDS high-risk behaviors (wound infection or unclean sex), you should go to a big hospital or health and epidemic prevention station as soon as possible to take blood tests for HIV antibodies so as to take countermeasures.

Foods that help fight HIV are: soybean, cucumber, bitter gourd, kelp, goose blood and garlic.
