Today, the third Sunday in May, is World AIDS Day of Remembrance. This date is intended to draw attention to the problems of people living with HIV and AIDS.
Rospotrebnadzor reminded Krasnoyarsk residents that modern medicine makes it possible to detect HIV in the early stages and effectively control the disease. Thanks to antiretroviral therapy, people with this diagnosis can live as long as people without HIV.
Experts emphasize that it is impossible to determine the presence of HIV by appearance. The only reliable way to find out your status is to undergo an examination. The earlier the disease is detected, the higher the chances of maintaining quality and life expectancy.
Simple preventive measures can help reduce the risk of infection: a responsible attitude towards personal relationships, regular HIV testing, abstinence from drugs, and the use of only personal or sterile sharp and cutting objects, manicure instruments and hygiene products.
