Do you know what U=U is? U=U is the abbreviation of “Undetectable = Untransmittable”, which means that when the amount of HIV virus in the body cannot be detected, the virus is not contagious.
Drug treatment to control viral load is not a dream for HIV-infected people to have children
Pharmacist Gao Junting analyzed in his personal community “Singing and Dancing Pharmacist Cheesecake” that as long as HIV patients can take medication regularly and control the viral load below the normal level unrecognizable, they do not spread the virus to others. This is extremely important for the prevention and treatment of HIV, not only reducing the rate of transmission of the virus, but also improving the quality of life of patients. This also means that people with HIV can live a normal life and have children like normal people. With constant medication and regular screening, as long as the virus is undetectable, they will not pass it on their partners or children. Therefore, pharmacist Gao Junting reminds that if you are unfortunately diagnosed with HIV infection, remember to take medicine regularly to achieve the effect of U = U, so that you can live your life and keep your health in the best condition.
Prevention is better than cure Safe sex reduces the risk of HIV infection
In fact, the ideal scenario is that we can avoid the risk of exposure to HIV infection. “Safe sex” is the best way to protect yourself and others. If you change sexual partners frequently and engage in unsafe sex, such as unprotected anal sex, oral sex during menstruation, keeping semen in the mouth, sharing needles, bleeding during sex, etc., it is especially important to do regular HIV screening to find out. and early treatment of the disease.
In addition, pharmacist Gao Junting pointed out that many people like to “come from behind”, but it should be noted that the anus is not naturally lubricated, so condoms are more likely to break when will be used in this case. Rubbing a broken condom in the anus can cause bleeding, which increases the risk of HIV transmission. It is important to get tested for HIV as soon as you notice a condom breaking and bleeding.
Be aware of possible risks during the HIV window period and you need to raise public awareness about U=U
In addition, pharmacist Gao Junting also emphasized that HIV has a window period During this time, even if you are infected with the virus, the test result may be negative, and therefore requires special attention. Therefore, it is very important not to have sex with different people during the window period to prevent you and your sexual partners from unknowingly passing the virus on to others.
Understanding U=U and HIV prevention and treatment measures is important for your own health and the health of others. Whether you are infected with HIV or not, establishing good sexual concepts and maintaining safe sexual behavior is knowledge that everyone needs to have. For people who are already infected with HIV, they do not need to worry too much. Through regular medication and screening and detection, the level of HIV virus can be gradually controlled, and they can also live a normal life. to have them as normal people. Finally, we should devote ourselves to education and publicity to allow more people to understand the concept of U = U, reduce society’s fear of infected people, and prevent the spread of AIDS.
