Question
Would a child get infected by eating something from an AIDS patient’s mouth?
Answer
AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) often has no clinical symptoms in the early stages, or only lymphadenopathy. Confirmation tests include the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to detect HIV antibodies in the blood, with positive results requiring further confirmation tests. Indirect Immunofluorescence Assays or Western Blot tests are commonly used to verify AIDS. Children with tonsillitis can pose significant harm to patients, so it is recommended that patients seek timely specialist consultation and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is advisable to drink more water and pay close attention to dietary issues, hoping the child can recover quickly!
