WHY CAN'T YOU GET AIDS THROUGH SALIVA?

There have been some misconceptions about how one can be infected with HIV

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the disease has killed more than 35 million people so far, last year alone nearly one million people died from HIV-related illnesses.

There are about 37 million people living with the virus - 70% of whom are diagnosed in Africa - with 1.8 million new infections in 2017.

Since AIDS was discovered in the 1980s, there has been talk about how its virus can be transmitted.

How has the life of the victims of the disease in the community improved?

Today as the World celebrates World Aids Day, we highlight some of the misconceptions that lead to stigma.

These concepts have caused stigma against AIDS sufferers for a long time.

Despite running a 2016 campaign to raise awareness in the UK about the issue 20% of the country's population believes HIV can be transmitted through saliva or contact with the person infected with the virus.

YOU CANNOT BE INFECTED WITH HIV THROUGH:

For one inhalation
A hug, a hug, or a hug
Using together food containers
Using water together
Using together business objects
Using together gym equipment
Touch the passenger seat, door handle and so on

HIV is transmitted through blood, breastfeeding or unprotected sex with someone who has the virus. This is not a fact at all. Traditional medicine, taking a shower after having sex or oral sex has no effect on HIV.

The culture of purification that gained popularity in the saharan nations, as well as in India and Thailand, has been described as extremely dangerous.

It has led to girls being raped and young children being abused which puts them at risk of contracting HIV.

The origin of the culture is believed to be in Europe in the 16th century when people began to be infected with sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and syphilis.

Such a culture did not even treat such diseases, although the infection goes through the blood, several studies show that a person cannot get the infection from the blood-sucking insects for these two reasons.

1) The mosquito does not add blood to the person before it bites the person.

2) HIV resides in them for a limited time.

So even if a person lives in a mosquito-infested area, HIV infection has nothing to do with those mosquitoes.

CONCEPT: I CANNOT GET HIV FROM HAVING ORAL SEX

Of course oral sex is probably less risky compared to other types of sex, Infection rates are down four times in 10,000 cases, But a person can get an STI infection with a man or woman who has the virus.

That is why doctors recommend the use of a condom dispenser when performing oral sex.

THE CONCEPT: I CANNOT BE INFECTED WITH HIV BY WEARING A CONDOM BALL

Condoms may rupture, break or break during the act of marriage which may put them at risk of transmission to both partners Other symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea and coughing occur as the body's immune system progresses.

If the victim does not receive treatment he or she may be exposed to diseases such as tuberculosis, cerebral palsy, among others.

CONCEPT: A PERSON INFECTED WITH HIV WILL DIE AT AN EARLY AGE

People who know their HIV status and focus on treatment and nutrition live longer.

The UNAids report says 47% of all people living with HIV have had the control of the virus in their body through treatment, this means those people cannot transmit the virus even if they are dating someone who is not infected with the virus.

This is why the success of the AIDS campaign does not stop in the context of telling people to use vaccines alone, but beer there is a need for those infected with HIV to get treatment.

According to the World Health Organization WHO, one in every four people is HIV positive and the person is uninfected - this means 9.4 million people - are at higher risk of contracting the deadly disease.

CONCEPT: IF YOU HAVE NO SYMPTOMS YOU DO NOT HAVE THE VIRUS

A person may be infected with the virus and not be informed.

However he may be diagnosed with illnesses such as influenza-like headache, fever, fever or sore throat in the first few weeks after contracting the virus that causes AIDS.

However when they stop treatment the virus levels increase and can be seen in his blood.

According to WHO, 21.7 million people with HIV have been taking antiretroviral drugs in 2017, That number has increased from 8 million people in 2010 - meaning 78% of people with HIV know their status.

CONCEPT: AFFECTED MOTHERS WILL INFECT THEIR CHILDREN

The issue is controversial but the possibility of mothers who have completely controlled the level of HIV in their bodies can breastfeed their babies without infecting them.
