How to treat AIDS?

When it comes to AIDS, everyone becomes very nervous, let alone if they themselves suffer from it. In fact, there are many ways to treat this disease. Controlling the number of CD4 and CD8 cells, persisting in exercise, improving physical fitness, using medication, and prolonging survival are all the best options.

First, AIDS must be diagnosed

Indeed, a promiscuous sexual life and unsanitary blood contact (buying and selling black blood, drug injections, etc.) may lead to the spread of AIDS. But this is not absolute. The early symptoms of AIDS are very similar to those of a cold, and maybe it is really just a cold. The methods of diagnosing AIDS circulating on the Internet are a joke in the face of medical examinations. If you have engaged in high-risk behavior and suspect that you have been infected with HIV, please go to a regular hospital for diagnosis first.

Control the number of CD4 and CD8 cells

AIDS patients have impaired immune function and are very susceptible to illness. So how do we check the level of immune function? It is usually expressed by the number of CD4 and CD8, with more emphasis on CD4 cells. The higher the CD4 cell count, the better, and there is no upper limit. If the CD4 cell count is too low, it means there is a high possibility of infection. Generally, if the level is below 500, medication should be used to control it.

Keep exercising to improve your physical fitness

In the early stages of AIDS patients, the decline in immunity is not obvious or does not occur at all. Then there is no need for cocktail therapy. The good times did not last long. Some people who were as strong as bulls soon lost their immunity and suffered from recurrent fevers and colds. Some people can maintain a very good physique and carry the virus for many years without getting sick. In this way, youth is a factor, but the bigger factor lies in physical fitness. People in the early stages of AIDS must insist on exercising and improving their physical fitness so that they are less likely to get sick.

Drug treatment prolongs life expectancy

At present, many people receive antiviral treatment even when they have a large number of CD4 cells. Because as the disease progresses, and due to some factors of the patient himself (age leading to decreased resistance, psychological factors, etc.), a decrease in CD4 cells is inevitable. As a patient, you must receive antiviral treatment sooner or later. In this case, it is better to do it earlier. Patients who use drugs to intervene in the HIV virus in the early stages have more ideal virus control.
