AIDS diagnosis What is the process? What are the checks to confirm whether HIV infection?

      First of all, to do some checking after infection. Do you want to know when their own situation, which should be done to check it? In fact, very simple, so you can detect an antibody, and the testing so far, including the quality of reagents, including sophisticated methods of detection or not, we can objectively say that we understand the general sense is that the accuracy of, or The satisfaction rate is technically more than 99% can be achieved, there is no need too much to too many tests done here today once again tomorrow, once there, it is not necessary.

AIDS diagnosis

      AIDS is now the most commonly used diagnostic antibody detection is carried out. When the body is infected with a virus, the immune system will react, that is, antibodies generated. Once such antibodies can help the body to control the pathogens, viruses, parasites. According to this so we can diagnose whether or not infected with AIDS, can be said that most of the infectious disease, to pass through the detection of antibodies by the method of diagnosis.

AIDS is now the most commonly used antibody detection methods, there are two:

      (A) is a method through immunization: the adoption of an instrument to automatically detect such antibodies, with a simple application of wide advantages. It can not be the venue, size restrictions, and even some friends at home can operate on is that we often say that the rapid diagnosis. The characteristics of this technology is very intuitive, any person who, after short-term training, can determine the correct results. Rapid diagnostic methods that under normal circumstances, 20 minutes to make a diagnosis. We detected antibodies in serum can detect whether or not infected with AIDS, but this method is not yet present in China with the possibility of promotion, many reasons, not repeat them here.

      (B) through urine, saliva, oral mucosa, such as fluid detection: The detection of this method, the sensitivity and specificity are very good.

      (C) detection of oral mucosal exudate. This is a very fast, easy way, and the patient is non-invasive. This non-invasive detection of the following advantages: on the one hand, those who were not suffering detection, and the operation of the people, also to avoid a number of occupational exposure, a number of operational pollution. AIDS antibody testing, which is equivalent to the completion of the half, this is a screening test, almost a little specific, for it requires a confirmation test to determine whether the existence of antibodies; HIV antibodies, the presence of false positive or cross-immunity phenomenon.

      At present in China is the most commonly used serological antibody detection, the method more stable and higher accuracy.

      In addition, there is a window period of AIDS, that is, after pathogen infection in a human antibody generated by the process, but with the continuous improvement of technology, we are able to advance a number of patients infected with the window period for diagnosis. In addition to HIV infection in addition there are other sexually transmitted diseases, diagnosis is also a variety of ways. For example, the diagnosis of syphilis, in addition to the clinical diagnosis, but also can directly access some of the skin secretions, dander. Another diagnosis of syphilis infection and AIDS diagnosis, as can also search through the serum antibody approach.

      In short, the diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases is very rich and different diagnosis of the disease have different ways, so different diseases according to different diagnostic methods, if two or more sexually transmitted diseases infection, we have to take their specific method, or methods of high sensitivity. So that if suffering from sexually transmitted diseases, we must go to hospital treatment, doctors will be based on your clinical performance, symptoms, there are a number of past experience to determine and give you a very good choice of detection method. In this case, the maximum extent possible to protect your health, to keep themselves healthy state.

AIDS antibody testing, it takes a lot of money, and that the most accurate one hospital?

      If you ask a hospital where the most accurate, this is not a question of level, in our country is capable of detecting AIDS really able to take responsible for this result, 31 provinces and municipalities are autonomous regions of the CDC, or Province Health Department-level approval of qualified laboratory capacity to have that, so detection should be accurate, because it has such capability.

      But here I would like to explain that the ability of laboratories, including medical personnel to protect themselves, to protect patients, protect the surrounding environment, especially the laboratory of the accuracy of the results, it involves talking about in front of me, I'll give you a positive result, you may feel like, family, members of what will be feeling will be around to see how you would do at an early stage. Now reduced to such discrimination, but in reality there will be. Give you the results of a negative may not believe you, but give you a positive result you may be faced with a lot of pressure, so in this case, we request in this regard, the requirements of the laboratory capacity may be more high, not to say that any one of the hospital, I open a new out-patient, or what can not do this kind of experiment, it is not allowed, because from the technical specifications higher than the above required.

      Our country in this regard is long overdue for free examination and treatment of the Four Frees and One Care policy. State Council Regulations on AIDS prevention and treatment of this clearly states: one is to provide free screening for AIDS, screening of blood testing is free of charge. Now we have set up in Beijing to more than 100 members of the public to provide free AIDS test counseling and testing laboratories, which in our cities and 18 districts of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, have built such a screening laboratory, but also Some hospitals are also in this laboratory, a total of more than 50. Perhaps there are members of the public do not know this matter, so I take this opportunity to a bit of advertising, any member of the public is willing to do a voluntary inspection of AIDS, these units can, if so remember that we are 18 districts and counties of the disease prevention Control Center, have opened this voluntary counseling and testing laboratories free of charge. We can go at any time, completely free of charge, on a voluntary basis. At the same time we are in the city of Beijing Health Bureau also found that AIDS screening laboratory that can provide HIV testing services. Now in principle, two hospitals are doing this testing, we can be assured.

What are symptoms of HIV infection it?

      In fact, after HIV infection if strictly observed, then some people have a certain degree of performance information is now recorded from the medical point of view, part of the infected person after a period of two weeks, the most there may be three weeks long, this period of time may be similar to flu symptoms, a bit weak, is there such a phenomenon occurred, but in the case of natural persons in general do not come out feeling. It is because we are now able to access to such information is found in the West of the early AIDS, found that many medical and health workers, including doctors and nurses in the treatment of patients in the process of hand-cut their own, such things happen in the future, the following tested for some time, at the same time after the incident in the day asking them to record their feelings, or performance, but in such a strict observation of the circumstances, some people think that after the incident in this period of time there is a species is similar to a very mild cold symptoms have passed very quickly, of course, after this part of the personnel to prove that he is infected, in turn, we believe that after infection some people have such a performance, but the actual There are a considerable number of people simply do not feel. What I mean is we should not have taken place because of his flu-like feeling of a time on that they must be infected with the AIDS virus, because the symptoms of flu are a lot of factors that may cause such a feeling, there is no need sets of shackles to his head.

The need for diagnosis in patients with this condition? The need for patient information in the relevant departments of the record?

      Some people have asked me: Is there such an inspection body to detect AIDS, and also for the patient confidentiality? If so, then which?

      My answer is: go to the hospital or can check the CDC, the medical staff's attitude is very good, will carry out a consultation, give them additional assistance and to provide free testing, the results of the week. If test results are positive, our professional staff will be given treatment recommendations, will not limit your personal freedom, and is absolutely protect your privacy. If test results are positive, we will report to the national CDC, but will not disclose your personal information privacy.

AIDS testing and treatment process, the privacy of individuals is, how to ensure?

      AIDS that we have a strict system, individual test results should be strictly confidential, it is directly related with ethics, so far, has not yet occurred in the course of their work to other people's privacy-related events are reported out; We have our basic rules, that is our duty, first of all, we need to do is to prevent further, but at the same time to protect those who we have been testing, I was treated all the privacy we will not be leaked, because we followed principle: that AIDS patients and infected persons in addition to the "disease" in this respect with other people do not like the other little different with the normal, I think this is also the health of these workers the most basic professional ethics.

AIDS is not the lack of the rule of law under the norms of humane care

      AIDS is a people who "talk about Ai mere mention of" the disease. AIDS medicine is called "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome", by the human immunodeficiency virus. Infected with the virus for life and can damage the body's immune system, people lose the ability to resist various diseases.

      Prevention and control of AIDS, to strengthen its effectiveness. Due to social discrimination against AIDS patients, many people could only silently suffering隐忍do not dare to tell. Although the AIDS vaccine still does not appear, to overcome AIDS, there is still a long way to go, but AIDS has become the first place is not so terrible. More people know, people with AIDS will not be infected with normal contacts, making more people can be naturally infected with AIDS to work with life, and has made AIDS can live like normal people life. AIDS can be good not only care and treatment, and their rights are protected, a series of initiatives to protect people with AIDS, so that patients with AIDS-infected people and feel the warmth from the community so that they have the courage to face the future re - life.

      Love, is a responsibility. AIDS patients treated with love its commitment not only to care for HIV-infected patients and is also in order to better control the AIDS epidemic. Over the years, a growing number of public figures actively involved in AIDS prevention and control of our propaganda work, and AIDS-infected people to participate in activities together, expressing the people with AIDS between emotional communication, but also new today the concept of prevention of AIDS: Care for AIDS patients and infected persons to enable them to ordinary people like us, who live together in the community atmosphere of the big family of love, which is a an effective AIDS prevention and control measures.
