This incident, caused the attention of the community. Netizens have hot discussion:
First figure out where the infection . Basic impossible, the probability of their own outside the infected rely on the hospital. The virus dies quickly when exposed to the air, and the amount of virus in the needle is not that easy to infect. This infection channel is a bit suspicious! Private misbehavior to touch the hospital?It is understood that AIDS is mainly through sexual transmission, blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission.
The main transmission route bit: sexual contact; including unsafe homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual contact; through blood and blood products: including *** with the needle intravenous drug injection, unsafe norms of interventional medical operation, tattooing, etc.: through mother-to-child transmission: including intrauterine infection, delivery and breastfeeding transmission.
