AIDS is primarily caused by infection with the HIV virus, which then leads to a deficiency in human immune function, destroying the body's CD4 T lymphocyte system. When immune function is severely deficient, it can lead to menstrual disorders and general malnutrition. AIDS can cause immune imbalance and lead to menstrual irregularities, so it is possible for AIDS to affect menstruation. Treatment should be tailored to the specific circumstances, including systematic and standardized anti-HIV treatment and adjustments to one's condition.

Is dizziness and nausea a symptom of AIDS?

Symptoms such as dizziness and nausea are not directly related to AIDS, and AIDS is generally not considered in such cases. Instead, conditions like insufficient blood supply to the neck or brain, which might cause dizziness and nausea, are considered. The diagnosis of AIDS must rely on laboratory tests because AIDS is an autoimmune deficiency disease, and various symptoms may occur. The most common and likely symptoms of AIDS are prolonged fever and diarrhea, but these symptoms cannot be used as the basis for diagnosis; they are only auxiliary. Therefore, to confirm AIDS, one must undergo laboratory testing at an accredited hospital.

AIDS is a type of disease.

AIDS is primarily caused by infection with the HIV virus, which then proliferates massively in the body. The HIV virus destroys the human immune system, leading to a significant decline in the CD4T lymphocyte system and immune function. After the loss of immune function, a series of opportunistic infections and opportunistic tumors can occur. Therefore, AIDS is actually an acquired immunodeficiency disease, mainly transmitted through sexual contact, as well as mother-to-child transmission and blood transmission.

Does blistering at the base of the tongue indicate AIDS?

It is unscientific and inaccurate to judge whether someone has HIV solely based on bubbles at the base of the tongue. To correctly determine if someone has HIV, we need to consider the medical history, whether there has been exposure to the HIV virus, whether screening tests have been conducted, and whether confirmatory tests have been carried out. Only by considering these factors can we accurately determine whether someone has HIV.

Is AIDS scary?

AIDS, also known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, can be understood literally as a sexually transmitted disease characterized primarily by severe immune deficiency caused by HIV infection. Once it develops into AIDS, it ultimately leads to death due to various opportunistic infections and secondary tumors. It spreads very quickly and has a high mortality rate. Currently, there is no effective treatment, making it one of the main lethal infectious diseases in humans. Therefore, AIDS is currently considered terrifying.

Will donating blood result in contracting AIDS?

Donating blood in Chinese hospitals and official blood donation centers does not result in HIV infection because there is HIV screening before donating. During blood donation, the syringes used are disposable. However, if blood is donated at unauthorized or illegal centers, the transmission of HIV cannot be guaranteed.
