Patients with AIDS, after receiving standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment, suppressing the virus, and largely restoring normal immune function and physical state, can actually marry and have children normally. Legally, there is no prohibition against people with HIV/AIDS from getting married. AIDS is not a disease that prevents marriage. Therefore, people with HIV/AIDS can marry normally once the condition and virus are under control, but they should engage in sexual activity and pregnancy under the guidance of an experienced infectious disease doctor.

Is AIDS yin or yang?

If HIV is contracted, after the window period, screening through HIV antibody tests or HIV nucleic acid tests will mostly yield positive results. If the HIV antibody test is positive, an HIV infection can be diagnosed. Once an HIV infection is confirmed, systematic and standardized antiretroviral therapy should be initiated. Systematic and standardized antiretroviral therapy can effectively suppress the virus to undetectable levels, eliminate infectiousness, gradually enhance immunity, and allow one to live a normal lifespan.

Can you get AIDS from oral sex?

Generally speaking, it is possible to contract HIV through oral sex. If the skin and mucous membranes of the areas involved are intact and there are no wounds, then the chance of infection is relatively small. However, if the skin and mucous membranes of the contact areas are damaged or have wounds, then the risk of infection significantly increases.

What are the symptoms of AIDS?

The primary symptoms of AIDS are mainly due to immunodeficiency and opportunistic infections caused by a weakened immune system. During the acute phase of AIDS, the virus replicates in large numbers, leading to immune damage and disorder. In the acute phase, symptoms such as rashes, fever, sore throat, weight loss, and diarrhea are common. During the symptomatic phase, symptoms like unexplained fever, diarrhea, chest tightness, coughing, phlegm, and numerous white secretions on the oral tongue are commonly observed.

What medicine to take for AIDS?

After contracting AIDS, the medication we generally take primarily targets HIV, but this medication does not kill the HIV virus. It only prevents the replication or reproduction of HIV in our bodies. In addition, we might take some immune-modulating drugs, as well as other medications for symptomatic treatment, anti-cancer drugs, and also some traditional Chinese medicines, among others.

What is the confirmed rate of suspected AIDS?

If you have engaged in high-risk behaviors or are experiencing symptoms similar to those of AIDS, you should not speculate about whether you have contracted HIV. The only approach is to go to the hospital for testing. Generally, after the window period has passed, you should go to the hospital for a screening test. If the screening test is positive, further tests should be conducted at the disease control center to confirm the diagnosis. Only through this process can it be determined whether you have AIDS or not.
