在美国、欧洲各国以及非洲中部等艾滋病流行地区、小儿艾滋病主要是由患有艾滋病的母亲垂直感染而来,而且其发病率随女性艾滋病患者数的增加而呈平行性增加。日本的小儿艾滋病几乎全由血制品的应用而感染。艾滋病并非通过日常生活传染,故应和其它感染性疾病同样对待。关于感染途径,成人主要是通过同性恋感染,通过异性间性关系也能感染。还可以通过静脉滥用麻醉药等途径而感染。但小儿与成人大不相同,主要是通过母子感染。总之,无论是成人还是小儿绝不是通过日常生活途径感染的,但人们对本病的认识不足,恐惧心理很严重,遗憾的是,在一些医务工作者,仍有力图避开患者的倾向是不对的。提示进行性知识教育和有关艾滋病知识教育的必要性。 In the United States, Europe and other parts of Africa where AIDS is endemic, HIV infection in children is mainly caused by the vertical infection of HIV-infected mothers and its incidence increases in parallel with the increase in the number of AIDS-infected women. Japan’s pediatric AIDS is almost entirely infected with blood products. AIDS is not transmitted through daily life and should be treated in the same way as other infectious diseases. With regard to the route of infection, adults are also infected through homosexual infections, through heterosexual relationships. Infections can also occur through intravenous abuse of anesthetics. However, children and adults are very different, mainly through mother-child infection. In short, both adults and children are never infected by daily life, but people are not aware of the disease and their fear is very serious. Unfortunately, in some medical workers, there is still an attempt to evade patients’ tendency. of. Prompt sexual education and knowledge of AIDS need to educate.
