Health newspaper: Why did the AIDS rumour prevail
A field collated ' Scholar) Unless a few days ago, last information network and message someone,it claim to HIV-positive on purpose at one's own drop of blood food to hotel, someone has already been infected. As to this, Ministry of Public Health issues a statement, this is an incident that the typical one starts a rumour, " bleeds and transmits AIDS " It is a rumour. The scientific evidence shows, AIDS has 3 kinds of routes to spread, namely pass the blood, sex route and mother and baby route. HIV will not be infected through tableware, drinking water, food. Such AIDS rumour is not the first time, but will not be the last time either. As far back as 2002, it is rumoured someone assassinated people and transmitted AIDS with the syringe needle speckle with HIV-positive person's blood in some places, later there was a varied AIDS circulation way, spread in banana and water-melon such as injecting the HIV-positive person's blood into, not only cause the locality to be in popular anxiety but also cause banana and water-melon to be unsalable seriously, the melon grower is too deep for tears. Why could AIDS rumour surface at regular intervals as suffering from malaria? The general one is belonged to because the way is, people's scientific accomplishment is not high. But scientific accomplishment high reason in many aspects, have what factor to lead to the fact scientific high accomplishment of people, where are therefore all sorts of rumours letting people readily believe AIDS and propagate? Because the problems in this respect will seldom enter scientific research in China " Buddha's Dharma-eye " ,Even row and belong to " Soft science " Do not have its, so will not carry on research to problems in this respect either, the cost of scientific research has never been put into these places too. However, scientific research and some incidents of social life have offered some clues and provided a certain indirect or direct answer, a suggestion is, what science propagates is uncomplete and it will probably cause a lot of spread related to rumour of the scientific problem including AIDS that researchers are not fond of science's propagating. About AIDS, there is a more lifelike example recently. BJ Union Hospital infects head of the department of internal medicine Li TaiSheng to discover, have already presented in the negative HIV-positive person's tears through HIV in treatment, blood, still contain HIV. This research results are issued on the international academic periodical " AIDS " of September. Then toss about in bed behind the report, might transmit AIDS as the tears through numerous news media, or " the tears are the fourth kind of spread route of AIDS " (used after a verb to indicate the completion of an action). But TaiSheng Li claim they release in the intersection of " the AIDS " and thesis at the periodical writing: "It is proved that we have evidences, when the virus of the blood is inhibited, remain as before a large amount of virus in the tears, the tears should be the storage storehouse of HIV. " Li TaiSheng points out, they have proved that contain the virus in the tears, but does not represent virus is sure to travel through this way. Because, up till now, because no cases of whole world have contacted the infected tears. Then, how to explain the puzzle and clear up and consider to the public misunderstanding? Whoever started the trouble should end it. Relevant professional personnel and media of Li TaiSheng's research group and AIDS preventing and controlling all need to explain tirelessly that contain HIV and AIDS and spread in the tears Relation,want on tears with might if you can't transmit by HIV, make explanationsing. And this kind of explanation certainly divides in order to direct against the professional field ' Professional personnel) With the public field ' The public) Two respects. As to the former, Li TaiSheng's research group has already done very much, they have offered the instruction to the personnel who carried on the clinical work, "while carrying on the eye inspection or operation to positive patient HIV, strengthen and protect, deal with prudently " . But to the public, have not put forward the corresponding explanation because of various reasons. This kind of explanation is, though the tears contain HIV, has not found that first example AIDS spreads through the tears. Though it is impossible for tears not to transmit scientific principle of AIDS, also need the result of study to verify, but can make the logical explanation through practice of AIDS preventing and controlling and existing result of study up until now. HIV can only exist in liquid, very fragile, to hot and dry and very much sensitive, in the dry environment, the virus dies in 10 minutes, deactivate in 56 �� environments in 30 minutes. Even if someone contacts the tears of HIV-positive and patient in life, but if contact there are no damage and wound on the skin, can not infect through the tears. Until HIV exist in saliva too and nobody catch the AIDS because of kissing with HIV-positive and patient this, the natural prerequisite is that the kisser's oral cavity has no damage and wound. Resist AIDS and AIDS rumour, not only need scientific research but also need science to spread. Unfortunately, we pay much attention to the former, but does not pay attention to even despise to the latter, therefore the AIDS rumour will prevail constantly.
