There is no need to be afraid of AIDS for several behaviors

Daily contact, sharing of goods, mosquito bites and other behaviors usually do not spread the AIDS virus, so there is no need to panic. AIDS virus is mainly infected through sexual contact, blood transmission and mother to child transmission. The virus has very weak survival ability in vitro and cannot be transmitted through air, food or skin contact.

1. Daily contact

Daily contact such as sharing tableware, shaking hands and hugging with AIDS patients will not lead to infection. AIDS virus cannot enter the human body through the complete skin barrier, and the virus content in saliva is extremely low and contains components that inhibit the viral activity. No special protection is required in a shared living or working environment, and normal social distancing is sufficient.

2. Sharing goods

Sharing toilets, swimming pools, fitness equipment and other public facilities will not spread AIDS virus. After leaving the human body, the virus quickly loses its activity, and both dry environments and common disinfectants can inactivate the virus. Unless there is direct exchange of fresh blood, there is no possibility of infection through daily contact with objects.

3. Mosquito bites

Mosquito bites will not transmit AIDS virus. Viruses cannot replicate and survive in mosquito bodies, and mosquitoes inject saliva instead of the blood they previously inhaled when sucking blood. There is no case record of AIDS infection due to mosquito bites in the world, which is also confirmed by epidemiological data in tropical areas.

4. Respiratory transmission

AIDS virus will not be transmitted by coughing, sneezing and other respiratory ways. Viruses do not exist in respiratory secretions and cannot survive in the air for long periods of time. Unlike respiratory infectious diseases such as tuberculosis or influenza, being in the same confined space does not increase the risk of infection.

5. Food transmission

Co eating or eating food cooked by AIDS patients will not lead to transmission. Gastric acid can quickly inactivate viruses, and the digestive environment is not suitable for virus survival. Even if trace amounts of viruses are mixed into food, it is no longer contagious after high-temperature cooking and digestion processes.

understanding the transmission route of AIDS virus can help eliminate unnecessary fears. The virus is mainly transmitted through high-risk behaviors such as unprotected sex, sharing syringes, and illegal blood collection. It is recommended to avoid exchanging bodily fluids with individuals with unknown health conditions and to use reputable medical institutions for invasive procedures. If high-risk exposure occurs, blocking drugs can be used within 72 hours to prevent infection, and no special treatment is required for daily contact. Maintaining scientific knowledge can not only protect effectively, but also reduce discrimination against AIDS patients.
