Recently, there is such a hot topic on Weibo.
Raped by Thai transvestite masseurs and found out that the other party was infected with HIV? The boyfriend who had a good night with you the night before found himself HIV positive in the physical examination the next day. However, you did not use condoms because you were too hearty last night. Can this make you feel burned and confused?
This kind of scene is believed to be no stranger to many doctors. After all, because of the working relationship, many medical staff will have the experience of being accidentally stabbed by needle tips or injured by various medical devices.
If the needle tip or medical device is bloody, even clearly, with the blood of HIV infected persons, this kind of situation, think about can make the scalp of medical staff pins and needles?
There is really regret medicine in this world.
Of course, all the five zang-organs are burned and the heart is in turmoil. It is of no help. The key lies in solving the problem. This is already the case. It is the real thing to have what to prevent oneself from contracting AIDS.
There are ways:
Within 72 hours, block it with drugs!
The [drug] mentioned here is not a drug, but a set of treatment plans, which are recommended by the World Health Organization and the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In professional terms, this is called [post-exposure prevention].
Although it is not 100% guaranteed to be avoided, if unfortunately there may be high-risk contact with AIDS patients, then this is a glimmer of hope, or through this method, infection and lifelong medication can be avoided.
Is the medicine what medicine?
Combination 1:
Any of the three drugs of Lopinavir/ritonavir/EFV/Isentress + tenofovir (TDF) + lamivudine (3TC)
Combination 2:
Any of the three drugs of Lopinavir/ritonavir/EFV/Isentress + tenofovir (TDF) + entracitabine (FTC)
How do you want to eat?
Time! ! Time is the most critical factor.
First, the starting time:
It is best to take it within 2 hours after exposure, but it can be taken within 72 hours. Remember, the sooner, the sooner, the better!
First, the duration:
The time to take blocking drugs is 28 days. During these 28 days, there may be some discomfort caused by drugs, but stick to it and the drugs cannot be stopped. It is safest to take the drugs completely on time and by point.
As for why prevention after HIV exposure should be within 72 hours?
This is mainly related to the way the virus invades the human body.
After entering subcutaneous or mucosal membrane, the virus is first recognized by dendritic cells, infecting nearby CD4 cells, then transmitted to nearby lymph nodes, and then further spread. It takes time for the virus to spread out from the infected area, which is usually 72 hours.
The shorter the time, the fewer infected immune cells and the smaller the spread range, the better the effect of taking blocking drugs.
Therefore, after high-risk behaviors occur, adequate, powerful and multi-target drug blocking as soon as possible can prevent the spread of the virus.
Of course, drugs don’t kill the virus, However, these viruses entering the human body will be confined to certain cells by the [barrier] formed by drugs, and they will not continue to replicate and spread. Over time, cells will gradually die in their own life cycle and then be metabolized by the human body, thus the virus will be removed from the body and will not be infected with HIV.
How much does the medicine cost and how do you buy it?
For medical staff, police and other professionals, if there is a risk of HIV exposure at work, this medication plan is also effective. If it is judged as occupational exposure, medication is free.
The application method is generally to quickly contact the local disease prevention and control center through the hospital’s susceptible department, and then obtain standby drugs according to the guidelines of the AIDS center, or go to the nearest designated AIDS hospital to receive blocking drugs.
However, if the exposure risk is caused by sexual behavior, a fee is required, and the fee is between 1800 and 4000 yuan according to different drug combinations.
If you want to obtain drugs for non-work reasons, you need to go to CDC and local infectious disease hospitals at your own expense.
It is very important that prevention after exposure is not 100% successful. It is still the key to prevent infection not to use condoms and prevention before exposure unless it is necessary.
