I knew that hepatitis C through infected blood is easier than HIV, how HIV is transmitted when gets into a vein or directly into the blood. A hepatitis C can be easy if you someone like scratch the metal object such as a needle on which blood had been infected with HCV

Respond Tatyana Stepanova, a gastroenterologist, hepatologist virus in HIV infection, as we already know, are parasitic in the white blood cells. Their greatest number is, of course, in the blood. In second place - the seminal fluid in men and vaginal fluids (including menstrual blood) and breast milk - in females. Viruses can also be found in other body fluids, for example, in saliva, tears, urine HIV-infected. However, there they were much smaller number. Are these dangerous environment in terms of spread of infection? The answer is simple - yes. But only if these fluids or one of them will fall from an infected to healthy at very high volumes. The pot is infected, its feces, earwax HIV could not be found. "Gateway" for HIV (as occurring relative frequency of the maximum to less) are: venous network, the anus and rectum, vagina and urethra of the penis, oral mucosa (throat), any violation of the integrity of the skin (cuts, abrasions, lesions, erosions, ulcers), even microscopic, invisible to the naked eye. Highest risk of HIV transmission is the use of sterile needles and injection needles without prior sterilization and quality control of disinfection. Undoubtedly, it is known that the used injection needles and syringes are not sterilized, must contain a balance of the blood of the recipient. This is quite sufficient to HIV contained in them, got right into the bloodstream of healthy person who will use these tools after the patient. This is easily seen. If the empty syringe with a needle dipped in a glass with tinted liquid, it is not even picking up the liquid piston in the needle, you'll see that there was mikropodsos. And if after this, in the same syringe to collect clean water, it will be tinted the color of the liquid in the glass. Anal and genital sex without a condom is also classified as high risk. Unprotected anal-genital contact is particularly dangerous because it is the most traumatic form of sexual intercourse. It creates the possibility of trauma-rich blood vessels of the mucous membrane of the rectum and anus. During unprotected vaginal intercourse woman is more vulnerable. This is facilitated by the possibility of the virus from the patient through the mucosa, even if it is not damaged. Interrupted (without ejaculation) sexual intercourse, as well as oral genital (with a hit semen or vaginal secretions in the mouth), when the barrier is not used condoms, too, are among the more risk factors. Unprotected oral genital sex involves direct contact with the mucous membrane of the sperm, vaginal secretions or blood, which may be present in them. It is considered that oral stimulation of the anus (rimming) is not much of a threat of HIV infection for the receptive partner because of a low risk of HIV transmission through saliva. However, an active partner in the mouth may be present and blood (bleeding gums when parodontosis, etc.). Therefore, to completely eliminate the probability of infection is impossible. It is also impossible to completely eliminate the risk of infection and active partner as well as in skin folds of the anus and often there is blood or traces of it. Perpetrators of anal or vaginal intercourse with a condom, risk moderate. The same level of threat is accompanied by people who prefer oral-genital sex with the use of barrier protection, when excluded from entering semen or vaginal secretions in the mouth. Low risk of HIV infection is French (wet) kissing and mutual masturbation. But the occasional use of syringes and needles for intravenous manipulations, the condom, kissing without the exchange of saliva, even caress the body language partner whom, massage, hugs, frottazh, erotic fantasies for HIV - are safe. Many people, leading an orderly life, not resorting to frequent change of sexual partners, do not use drugs, as unmarried and without a family, worrying question: Is there any any way to HIV in this population? Grounds for such concern. The data obtained by scientists for a long time watching the families in which they live infected with the virus show that "no use of the same dish, nor seen one toilet, no common items of clothing, body care, not even a kiss and sleep in one bed with not infected with HIV lead to infection ... ". Even the presence of HIV in saliva should not cause much concern. After all, to the infection occurred, should the virus in the blood. And this can happen if the "hot" kiss of, say, with a bite. Although a special medical literature describes the case where mental patients infected with HIV, has bitten several medical professionals, but none of them HIV is not received. With quiet friendly kisses without combining them with other more intimate caresses the threat of HIV infection is unlikely. There is no risk of contracting the bath, sauna or pool, of course, if there is not currently sharing a syringe to introduce the drug or not to resort to questionable sexual intercourse. There is also no reason to blame the mosquitoes, fleas, lice, bedbugs and other biting insects. The medical literature contains no evidence of transfer of HIV-infected insects. Why is this happening? Today there is no exact answer. Perhaps in the "gut" of these blood-sucking contains some substances that destroy HIV. Maybe there are some factors that protect the insects from the "conservation" in their body of HIV. But this is only speculation. Statistics of U.S. scientists who study AIDS, indicates that more than three-quarters of patients with this infection got it through sexual intercourse, about 15% - with drug use, about 3% - by blood, 1% - children with AIDS parents and only 1% of the risk factors could not be established. If HIV transmission in other ways than those that we have mentioned, the risk of infection would be subject to considerably more healthy people. It's hard not to agree with our leading infectious disease that "is not so much the ability of the virus itself, how many people's lifestyle explain his" victory "rally. Homosexuality, drug abuse, sex tourism, sexual promiscuity, finally, carelessness, curiosity, just stupidity and other human weaknesses led to the modern dramatic step in the spread of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Hepatitis C virus only in the blood, it is not in sperm, vlagalishnoy fluid, saliva, ie, infected with hepatitis C virus is more complicated than the AIDS virus. Similar question: ... I get HIV, hepatitis B and ... pricked his finger with a needle and squeeze the blood, treated with iodine ...
