How to protect yourself from AIDS

How to protect yourself from AIDS
 AIDS - a very terrible disease that has received over the past twenty years, a huge spread worldwide. How to avoid becoming a victim of an insidious virus to protect themselves and protect their children?
 AIDS virus undergoes constant mutations and becoming more dangerous for humanity, and although scientists are developing more and more new medicines to reduce the number of deaths from the disease, they are very expensive. Same vaccine against AIDS has not been invented. That is why it is so important to take precautions and prevention of infection from this virus.

The first and most advocated a measure of protection from AIDS is protected sex. This is especially true if you often change sexual partners, with better use of latex condoms. It latex is the least porous material, and therefore does not transmit the biological fluid in an alien your body. Doubly careful to be women who, as carriers of the virus can pass it to their babies.

A second, equally important way to protect against AIDS is the use of disposable syringes. Violation of this condition can lead to infection, because the blood of an infected person is a biological fluid, carrying a threat to everyone else. Make sure that in the hospital, all manipulations were carried out precisely with the aid of disposable syringes. Could cause contamination of AIDS and blood transfusion if it has been checked and is taken from a sick person.

It is for this reason that so many people are AIDS among drug users. In this environment, no one is watching sterile needles and syringes, which contributes to the spread of the virus. Among persons who abuse alcohol also increases the likelihood of contracting the infection, since in this state it is difficult to control yourself and to account for their actions.

There are professional and household transmission of AIDS: infection occurs through broken skin and mucous membrane of people that come into contact with blood or other biological material of patients with this disease. Therefore, health care providers must carefully comply with all safety precautions.

It should be borne in mind that AIDS is not transmitted by airborne droplets, through water or food. The saliva of the patient can be hazardous only when present in her blood.
