Can men with AIDS have children?

Everyone wants their next generation to be healthy and safe, but a small number of men infected with AIDS dare not have babies, fearing that their disease will be transmitted to their children and bring them a lifetime of pain. In fact, it is possible for AIDS patients to have children, provided that they do a good job of preventing infection. Of course, all this needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor, and it also depends on the severity of the patient's illness. Therefore, for the sake of yourself, your family, and your next generation, you must understand the measures to prevent AIDS.

Can men with AIDS have children?

Many men infected with AIDS are afraid of passing the virus on to the next generation, so they dare not have children. This deprivation of the right to reproduce is painful. There are cases and methods of male patients giving birth to healthy babies abroad, that is, through artificial insemination or IVF, and a sperm washing procedure is required before artificial insemination. Unfortunately, it has not yet been launched in China, so the man can only take ARV drugs to reduce the viral load as much as possible before having sex, and if you want to increase the safety, let the woman also take ARV.

Risk analysis of AIDS patients giving birth to babies?

Without any blocking measures, the probability of mother-to-child transmission is 30-40%, the intrauterine transmission rate is 5-10%, the birth rate is 10-20%, and the breastfeeding rate is 10-15%. There is no special mention of germ cell transmission. The current mother-to-child blocking measures can control the transmission rate to less than 3%. Of course, no matter how low the transmission rate is, it is possible for it to occur. Once it happens in a family, it is unfortunate, so I still hope that AIDS families do not have children!

Controlling the transmission of AIDS:

1. Strictly prohibit drug use and avoid sharing syringes.

2. Maintain chastity and one-on-one sexual relationships (including male-male sex).

3. Do not receive blood transfusions or use blood products without authorization. Use them under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Do not borrow or share personal items such as toothbrushes, razors, and shaving razors.

5. Using condoms is one of the most effective measures to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS during sexual intercourse.

6. Avoid direct contact with blood, semen, breast milk and other body fluids of AIDS patients.

7. Prevent mother-to-child transmission.

8. Improve reproductive organ hygiene.

How to treat AIDS:

1. Antiretroviral treatment: Currently, the international community believes that the combined use of several antiretroviral drugs is more effective. This treatment is also called "cocktail therapy", which has a significant effect in reducing morbidity and mortality and improving quality of life.

2. Antiviral preparations.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment emphasizes overall regulation and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Its characteristics are: small toxicity and side effects, slow onset, but long-lasting effect, low price, suitable for national conditions; can improve the body's immune function and effectively improve the patient's symptoms and signs.

4. Prevention of some opportunistic infections: When the patient's CD4 cells drop to a certain level, antibiotics can be given for prevention, such as co-trimoxazole for the prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and toxoplasmosis, isoniazid for the prevention of tuberculosis, etc., which can reduce the incidence of such opportunistic infections.

5. Immunomodulatory therapy: Some immunomodulators can increase CD4 cells when used in the early stages.

6. Supportive therapy: Improve the progressive consumption of AIDS patients as much as possible.

7. Treatment of various opportunistic infections. Generally speaking, most opportunistic infections can be cured, including chemotherapy and symptomatic treatment of tumors.

8. Immunomodulators.

AIDS prevention methods:

1. Observe morality, keep yourself clean, and avoid premarital and extramarital behavior.

2. Do not go to barbershops or beauty salons that are not strictly disinfected or are not disinfected for haircuts or beauty treatments; everyone must have a toothbrush.

3. Do not use unsterilized instruments for piercing ears, eyebrow tattooing, or body tattooing.

4. Insist on using condoms when you suspect that you or your partner is infected with HIV.

5. Do not take drugs in any way; drug addicts should not share syringes with others before they quit.

6. Use strictly sterilized syringes and examination and treatment instruments during medical treatment; do not go to clinics or hospitals where sterilization is not guaranteed for injections or tooth extractions.
