Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 45-year-old male with HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Our healthcare system is inadequate, and many individuals are affected by HIV. Our president has promised to take steps to address this issue. I want to know if these promises can be realized or if they are just empty assurances. In our village, HIV is pervasive, with children being born with the virus and both mothers and many children not surviving. Please provide advice, news, and detailed information to help address this critical situation.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.
Certainly, it is possible to control HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) by taking small steps, such as improving the health system. If the health system becomes more educated, it can effectively prevent the spread of HIV by managing HIV-positive patients properly. To prevent transmission to new patients, healthcare workers should take precautions, like wearing gloves and ensuring that the same injection is not used on different individuals. HIV is transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, and this can be easily prevented by enhancing the health system. Education about HIV should be widespread, so people are aware and can take preventive measures. Controlling HIV is not an impossible task. When visiting a doctor, ensure they use a fresh pair of equipment for every patient, and practice safe intercourse by using protection.
I hope your queries are resolved, and any further queries are welcome.
Thank you.
