HIV AIDS is not caused just by being physical; these mistakes also cause it!

HIV Positive Person Precautions: HIV/AIDS can spread not only through sexual relations but also through sharing infected blood, injections, and personal items.

HIV Positive Person Precautions: HIV is a virus that keeps hollowing out the body from inside without making any noise. People often believe that it spreads only through sexual relations, but the truth is much more serious and demands awareness. There are still many misconceptions about HIV/AIDS in our society. People consider it a disease related only to physical relations, while the truth is that some unknown behavior can also cause the spread of this virus. 

 

Dr. Shuchin Bajaj explains that HIV is not only spread through unsafe sex, but it can also be transmitted through infected blood, infected injections and even through sharing of personal items. Therefore, it is important that we understand every aspect of it and be fully aware to prevent it.

 

 

infected blood or blood products

If HIV test is not done before blood transfusion, then this virus can enter the body. This risk is especially high in villages or informal setups.

Use of needles or injections

If people who take drugs or who repeatedly inject themselves for some disease use the same needle, HIV can spread rapidly.

Items used by the infected person

There is a risk of infection if things like razors, toothbrushes, or blades are shared with an infected person and have blood traces on them.

During pregnancy or breastfeeding

If the mother is HIV positive, without treatment the virus can be spread to the baby in the womb or during breastfeeding.

What precautions should an HIV positive person take?

• Do not share personal items with others, such as razors, blades, toothbrushes, etc.
• Practice protected sex, always use a condom
• Take medicines regularly, take antiretroviral therapy on time as prescribed by the doctor
• Avoid donating blood; an infected person should never donate blood.

HIV/AIDS is not a punishment, but an infection that can be prevented with caution and awareness. It is wrong to consider it a sexually transmitted disease only. Leaving behind the misconceptions and adopting the right information is the biggest need of today.
