65438+February 1 Sunday is World AIDS Day, and the theme of this time is "* * * unite to control the epidemic". In order to help promote and prevent AIDS all over the world, we have compiled the following bulletin.

1. Global AIDS epidemic situation

By the end of 20 19, about 38 million people in the world were infected with HIV, and nearly 2 10/00000 people were receiving antiretroviral treatment. However, about 65438+200,000 people still die of AIDS-related diseases every year. Especially in developing countries, AIDS is still a very serious public health problem.

2. Ways of transmission of AIDS

-Blood transmission: blood transfusion or needle transmission;

-Sexual transmission: sexual transmission;

Vertical transmission: pregnant women are infected with HIV and transmit the virus to the fetus or newborn.

3. Ways to prevent AIDS

Reduce the number of sexual partners, use condoms and other protective measures;

-Don't use needles and refuse to inject drugs;

-HIV nucleic acid testing before each blood transfusion;

-Pre-pregnancy virus screening and timely treatment;

-Actively participate in AIDS prevention publicity and education activities.

4. The progress of AIDS work in China in recent years.

AIDS is a disease with long incubation period and difficult treatment, but the China municipal government has made remarkable progress in eradicating AIDS in recent years. By the end of 20 19, there were nearly 1 10,000 people infected with HIV in China, but nearly 90% of the infected people received antiviral treatment. At present, China's domestic AIDS prevention and control work has achieved positive results, but it still needs the attention and action of the whole society.

We hope that through this publicity column, more people will know about AIDS, actively participate in the prevention and control of AIDS, and contribute to winning the battle of AIDS.
