How does AIDS disease happen?

HIV is a sexually transmitted infection that damages the body’s immune system and further reduces its ability to fight infection or disease. If HIV is not treated on time, it can lead to AIDS. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been in existence for a long time and people are still not aware of how to deal with the patient. According to research, more than 17 lakh cases of HIV have been reported in our country in the last 10 years due to unprotected sex.

Dr Sanjay explains that infected blood, illegal injection drugs, and sharing the same needle with an infected person can spread the disease. If an expectant mother is suffering from AIDS, it can be passed on to the child during pregnancy and even during breastfeeding. Having unprotected sex with an infected person can worsen the condition and have serious consequences. In such a situation, it is necessary to use condom while having sex and do not be negligent about it.
Oral sex can also cause this disease
In some cases, HIV can also be transmitted through oral sex. If a person has blisters or any wound in the mouth and blood comes out of it, then the risk of getting HIV increases.
