Features: AIDS is the Chinese name for "AIDS" in English, which is the abbreviation for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It is a fatal infectious disease caused by infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV primarily destroys the human immune system, gradually weakening the body's ability to resist various pathogens from the outside world. As a result, it is highly susceptible to infectious diseases and tumors that are not easily contracted by generally healthy individuals, ultimately leading to death. Since AIDS was discovered less than 20 years ago, its widespread prevalence globally has infected over 30 million people and claimed the lives of over 10 million. To date, there is still no effective treatment to cure this disease. Therefore, what we can do is to understand it and prevent it as much as possible, so that it cannot harm us. This book compiles the wisdom of numerous experts, providing in-depth yet accessible and considerate answers to 100 of the most pressing questions people have about AIDS prevention and control.
