Occupational exposure is involved in AIDS prevention and treatment in employment or other work, to be HIV infected or AIDS patients blood and body fluids of the damaged skin or mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, or blood containing HIV, and body fluids of needles and other sharps puncture the skin and has been the case the possibility of HIV infection. 4 July took place in the city on a case of AIDS because of maternal history of concealment of three health care workers caused by occupational exposure incident.

The patients with AIDS, knowing that he is, why insist on the birth of the baby? How three health care workers caused by occupational exposure? With a lot of queries, July 8, CDC interviewed by this reporter went to the city.

AIDS do not want to exchange with reporters

8 am, the city came to CDC's sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS Branch, chief Huang Jian generally introduced after the incident. It turned out that this drug名叫杜a female, who is a county of Chenzhou, 28-year-old in 2007, was diagnosed with AIDS, she has to hide his illness. Shortly thereafter, a farmer and living with Golden Harvest, but also pregnant with the child.

July 3, Chenzhou杜某came to a county hospital, July 4 at the birth of the baby. For various reasons, she did not inform their patients of medical and nursing staff, three health care workers in their wounds when the skin surface of needlestick injury, maternal medical and nursing staff of the amniotic fluid splash in the arm, caused by occupational exposure. That the maternal杜某is AIDS, the three health care workers within 24 hours on medication, but are still in panic.

"According to our current standard of health care of pregnant HIV-infected children, and take corresponding measures can be successfully blocked the majority of HIV to prevent infection in babies." Huang said, when杜某that situation, he had to make recommendations to her not to production, and is bent on杜某birth to the baby.

Understanding of what happened, the reporters want to interview face-to-face contact to杜某, Huang indicated杜某dial telephone, however, took over the telephone when the reporter identified himself, the telephone has那头toot toot heard the sound of the hang up . Reporters tried to send text messages through the contact, but has yet to respond to each other text messages. Clearly,杜某do not want to exchange with reporters.

Popular face interview, the reporter, regardless of the feelings of the deepest suffering from AIDS杜某, or three health care workers occupational exposure, once stained with the relationship between AIDS, we are alarmed, a strong sense of self-protection, not more people understand the situation.

AIDS can be controlled is not a suicide prevention

At present, the effects of AIDS drugs can not cure. AIDS has been so many people called "super cancer", "reprieve", which led to a lot of people think that AIDS can be cured without medicine, can only wait for death.

"In fact, this is a misunderstanding of AIDS, AIDS is preventable and controllable." Huang said, the medical technology of the effectiveness of AIDS treatment has been very satisfactory. At present, the basic treatment of AIDS drugs can be adopted to achieve four objectives: the virus can not be reduced to the level of detection to improve the human immune system, improve the quality of life and reduce the spread of the virus, but the current implementation of national AIDS policy is the free treatment.

According to Huang, the HIV infection from the initial date, after a few years (typically 8-10 years) after the incubation period of AIDS patients would develop into. If the timely detection of early treatment, you can live with HIV prevention and control.

AIDS patients with a doctor for the existence of "occupational exposure" risk

Three health care workers after occupational exposure in the event was taking 24 hours. Huang said, this is not the best time of medication. In the event of surgery occupational exposure, it is necessary to take four hours in an emergency to deal with taking the drug for three weeks, the risk of infection can be reduced to four hundred thousandths.

Reporters tried to call and send text messages through the way get in touch with the three health care workers to understand their current living conditions, three health care workers are said to reporters do not want to disclose.

News on the Internet that, at present, China has not a result of occupational exposure to HIV infection for medical staff, compensation or benefits of the law. On the other hand, medical workers on AIDS awareness has to be universal and enhanced. For these reasons, the medical staff for the treatment of AIDS, the spirit is indeed under pressure.

AIDS patients suffering from other diseases, the need for surgery, because of the identity of the refusal by some hospitals and prevarication. In real life, many AIDS patients indeed experienced similar problems, in addition to their suffering from AIDS and other diseases, not to be quick and effective treatment, resulting in increased illness, and even a threat to their lives. Patients wait in pain, doctors worried about the threat to health, in the face of difficult reality, hospitals and AIDS patients into a "dilemma" situation.

AIDS patients need to understand and care more

"Social discrimination of AIDS and AIDS patients so that the occurrence of occupational exposure of healthcare workers have experienced tremendous psychological pressure, how to create a whole society on the AIDS atmosphere of tolerance and understanding is very important." Huang says. In the course of AIDS treatment, the patient was informed that he was from the beginning of infection, there will be a variety of psychological problems and psychological crisis, or even cause a variety of mental disorders. If the patients condition to hide, the virus to others, will have serious consequences for society.

Now, more than 10 kinds of Chenzhou has been the treatment of AIDS drugs, AIDS patients are free to use. Huang said, so, we must not only expressed his understanding of AIDS patients and care should also be a means to care and, unfortunately, infected with AIDS, as well as health care workers occupational exposure and encourage them to establish a life of courage, courage to face the reality ; the whole society to advocate against discrimination, the elimination of prejudice, to mobilize the whole society for the AIDS-infected people and to create a relaxed living environment.

As the release date, and this reporter has yet to杜某contact with AIDS, why should we uphold the杜某birth to the baby is still a mystery.
