A cross sectional study combined with the social investigation to describe some factors related with the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) in the HIV/AIDS prevention and control, currently evaluate the practice of some common regulation in HIV/AIDS prevention and control, from which some solutions will be introduced. The results have shown that 97,4% health cadres know clearly the cause of the HIV/AIDS patients and 90% health cadres had a perception in protection from the HIV/AIDS transmission.

A study on the changes of blood cells and lymphocyte T and the relation of the reduced lymphocyte TCD4 and some hematological indicators in patients with HIV/AIDS has shown that the amount of the lymphocyte T CD4 was reduced in patients with the HIV infection and was reduced significantly in patients with AIDS comparing with these in the normal people. The amount of the lymphocyte T CD8 was increased which lead the increase of lymphocyte TCD3. The amount of neutral leukocytes and thrombocytes in patients with HIV and/or AIDS were reduced when compared with these in the normal people. The amount of leukocyte and erythrocyte were reduced. The reduction of the lymphocyte TCD4 was closely related with the reduction of the thrombocytes and leukocytes.

HIV/AIDS infection now is increasing and has not been stabilized yet. All 61 out of 61 provinces have HIV/AIDS infected persons. HIV/AIDS is spreading to low risk groups such as recruits and pregnant women. HIV incidence is dramatically increasing in pregnant women from three regions. Pregnant women with HIV infection are important source of transmission in community and should be controlled actively. Pregnant women should be screened for HIV infection and the Gyn-Obs facilities should have relevant instruments to avoid transmission

It is considered that lymphocyte T4 count less than 200/mm3 is a marker of AIDS. Participants in this study were 208 persons with HIV infection. They were followed up from detecting HIV infection to death. These subjects were divided into groups A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3 using CDC classification. Criterion of T4200 showed the level of immune depression and reflected the life quality of HIV patients. It can be considered a reasonable criterion to classify HIV patients into AIDS stage

Our study were carried out on 5 patients (3 males, 2 females, the average age was 37.6) in order to evaluate primarily the regime of anti-retrovirus with didanosin and ididavir on 5 HIV patients at some stages of disease. The obvious effectiveness of combination found in the first 3 months, the tolerance was rather good, therefore the drugs can be used for along time. However, the results were satisfactory when using early and the patients were not addicted
