Chapter 355

As for how to uncover the true features of HIV, especially when it does not find out its "veil" before finding out the way of transmission, Zheng Jianguo uses the data based on facts to speak. As people did not find DNA more than a decade ago, it was confirmed that smoking is harmful to health through comparing the data of lung cancer incidence rate between smokers and non-smokers.

When it comes to HIV, Zheng Jianguo, based on a similar theory, excluded most of the transmission routes and only retained the body fluid exchange based on blood as the source of infection. However, when facing Augustus, he said the transmission routes of HIV: "of course, considering that if the mother was infected with this virus before pregnancy, I think there is a high probability that it will be transmitted to children -- "

"Haven't you found the symptoms of the disease yet?"

It took Augustus a long time to wake up to what Zheng Jianguo said, especially when he said men, how did he feel that the goods meant something? Fortunately, there is a similar saying of injecting unique products, but in his opinion, it is all a process, not the purpose of his test in Boston today: "you can tell me directly -"

"Augustus, so far, I have only confirmed that after the initial infection with this virus, that is, before purple spots appear on the body surface, there will be a long-term persistent low fever and a certain degree of diarrhea, plus dark herpes - do you think I suggest Delia check it?"

Zheng Jianguo said with a straight face that he didn't know that his previous eyes betrayed his real ideas, so that Augustus looked at the middle-aged man next to him and said, "please give me a chance to be alone with Zheng."

The middle-aged man glanced at Zheng Jianguo, then nodded and turned to go out. Augustus watched his back disappear, then looked back at Zheng Jianguo and said, "Zheng, if you know anything -"

"Augustus, this virus lives in the blood, and the blood virus covers the range from hepatitis to leukemia, so I can't give you further answers. Of course, according to my personal guess, this is definitely not a good phenomenon."

Zheng Jianguo quickly interrupted Augustus' words. He felt that with the sentence asked earlier, Delia was asked to check, which seemed to inspire him: "however, you can help me find out who infected No. 3 blood, and then track who infected him through this person. If you find out who among these people has health problems, That's a rough look. "

"OK, I'll go."

Augustus blinked and watched Zheng Jianguo stop. He felt that this was also a way to get up. However, when he reached the door, he opened the door with his hand and stood still. He said to his side, "you can also ask Delia to have an examination. In this way, if our two families follow up together, we must be able to find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible -"

"Well, OK, I'll call her right away."

Zheng Jianguo sent Augustus away at the door. He couldn't believe that Augustus's baby was HIV infected. Of course, this idea just flashed in his mind. As the largest city and the largest port in the United States, New York has the ability to affect the world's economy, finance, entertainment and media.

Such a strange place should be the first stop for HIV to enter the United States?

Zheng Jianguo didn't know how accurate he guessed. According to the gene cells carried by HIV virus and the confirmation of large-scale epidemiological research, it was found that HIV was transmitted from chimpanzees to people in a certain month in 1921. 40 years later, he completed the transcontinental leap through blood trading, and finally injected into the wounded by medical personnel in the American Vietnam War.

The first stop of these wounded soldiers after returning home is New York port.

It's been about ten years.

According to Zheng Jianguo's understanding of HIV, he can infer this result from the average incubation period of 7 to 10 years. Of course, according to his memory, the shortest incubation period of HIV is half a year, and the longest is 20 to 30 years.

So a simple guess, we know that the time when HIV landed in the United States should be around 1970.

Now, it should have entered a concentrated outbreak period.

Referring to the new infection of Andre and Delia, it shows that it has spread rapidly in a certain field, and the number of potential infected people should have exceeded 100000.

Just because these people have different identities and superior living conditions can provide the balance of the body's immune system through matter, so as to suppress the attack of HIV virus and delay the carrier's entry into the AIDS state.

In the empty room, Zheng Jianguo suddenly had some insight. Only this situation can prove that HIV will lead to the length of time of onset according to the strength of the human immune system after entering the human body?

Unfortunately, at present, medical scientists have not found macrophages in the immune system, let alone monocytes and bone marrow precursor cells. People's understanding of the immune system is still looking at flowers in the fog - fishing for the moon in water.

"Call Delia and forget it."

Zheng Jianguo left. Huishen took out his wallet from his pocket. He didn't separate the business card from the money at the moment, but when he took the business card to the phone at the head of the bed, there were two knocks on the closed door: "bang bang, boss, I brought your speech."

"Well, Delia is Anthony's girlfriend?"

As Esther's voice came outside the door, Zheng Jianguo suddenly remembered another identity of the girl on the business card. He walked a few steps to the door and opened the door. Next to Esther, who had changed his big T-shirt and short skirt, Fiona, still wearing the school uniform of Mayo Medical College, was exploring one of the two ponytails behind his head, Blinking his clear blue eyes, his voice was clear: "well, knowing that you have made a new discovery, Walton let me seduce you -"

"It's not good for you --"

Glancing around in the corridor, Zheng Jianguo's nervous look amused the two women. When Esther entered the back of the house, he said, "we've seen it before. No one --"

"We've had enough together today."

Zheng Jianguo watched the two women enter the house speechlessly, and then quickly closed the door. Unexpectedly, Fiona sat directly by the bed, looked at him up and down, and said, "today you're wearing a raincoat. Why? This virus is transmitted through the X relationship? "

"Have you ever heard of too many men?"

Esther put down the folder and leaned against the TV kitchen. Fiona subconsciously said, "no, I've met -- Esther, are you trying to set me up? I can tell you that he did it three times, three times! Just the first time I did it, he did it three times! This is the man! "

"In order to avoid provoking more girls, I decided to start self-discipline in this regard -"

The more they talked, the more outrageous they became. Zheng Jianguo quickly dragged the topic back. As the saying goes, his family knows his family affairs. He was originally an old man with weak self-discipline. He relaxed his requirements for himself in the face of Esther and Fiona, who he had never met in his previous life, so that now he has developed into this kind of situation.

At that time, Zheng Jianguo regarded the HIV virus lurking around him as a condition of self-discipline, but this constraint could no longer control the surge in his heart after the emergence of HIV virus testing methods.

"Then we'll help you do it, won't we? Esther? "

Fiona blinked and didn't know what to think of. She said that she didn't expect her courting behavior to fall into Esther's ear, but Esther changed her mouth and said, "we're different. I'll go first -"

"You --"

Seeing Esther put down the folder and turned to leave, Fiona looked at her back and didn't look back until she disappeared. Looking at Zheng Jianguo with a silent face, she said, "you and she are temporary - what does she want from you? Money or research? "

"What do you want from me?"

It seems that Zheng Jianguo's warm feelings with Esther are cold transactions. Of course, he also knows that he can't think about it. If he really cares, everything in the world is cold transactions. Even family affection will become cold because of the saying of raising children to prevent old age, So Fiona continued to say, "sorry, I'm in a bad mood."

"Don't apologize. We don't need to apologize. To be honest, I took more advantage of being with you. When the professor published the picture of Helicobacter pylori with us last time, I was a little excited. I felt that I could finally distance myself from you. It was just my father who poured a basin of cold water on me. Do you know what it was?"

Fiona quickly shook her head and stood up from the bed. She took a few steps in front of Zheng Jianguo, stared at him, blinked her long eyelashes, and looked at him. Zheng Jianguo frowned and asked, "what is it?"

"The study on the contamination of the lancet by pathogenic bacteria in the hair follicle in cell."

His hand touched Zheng Jianguo's cheek, which was no different from that of other Asian young men in Fiona's opinion, but it was this face that changed her stubborn father's idea. He poked his mouth and said, "in the past, I heard about you from others, which was similar to the" lucky "reported in the media, But until your paper came out, my father talked to me about you for the first time -- "

"You told him we had sex?"

Zheng Jianguo frowned again. Fiona touched his brow and said, "no, I don't know if he was testing me when he talked about you, so I didn't say our relationship. He said that your luck came from your observation of things, made a hypothesis through the observation results, and then studied this hypothesis.

He thought it was a real scientist's talent. Newton faced up to the existence of gravity by observing that the apple hit him on the head, and then broke the heliocentric universe theory at that time with the law of universal gravitation by assuming that the apple fell to the ground, human weight and the phenomenon of the moon rotating around the earth -- "

"My face is red. You should feel it."

Rao Shizheng Jianguo is used to thinking of himself as the discoverer of Helicobacter pylori and graphene, but when faced with Fiona's unreserved praise, he still felt the embarrassment of his conscience from the bottom of his heart, just considering the relationship between the two people, He reached out and caught Fiona's moving hand: "I don't know what your father does?"

"My father is the CTO of Lexington pharmaceutical factory, and my mother is a congressman of Lexington."

Fiona shook her head and said, but just when she showed a charming smile and wanted to do it, Zheng Jianguo opened her hand and said, "you said you took a lot of advantage of me?"

"You also took advantage of me. Today you took advantage of me again. It's still a big advantage."

Fiona said after her eyes widened in an instant. Then she sat back by the bed, lay down on the bed, looked at the light on the ceiling and said, "last time we were together, it was the first time that you said something valuable about Helicobacter pylori --"

"Well, so you go back and speed up?"

Vaguely remembering that he said a few words casually with Fiona, Zheng Jianguo remembered the idea of knowing that someone competed with him last time. Subconsciously, he felt that he could not reveal the news of HIV: "if someone gets ahead of him again, that's some slapping in the face."

Just when the idea flashed in Zheng Jianguo's mind, he saw Fiona's ups and downs in bed and fell silent. To tell the truth, he didn't see a man with great health care in his last life.

Although I haven't been in contact with girls like Yang Na, Esther and Fiona, I can open my mobile phone and face all kinds of filters, skin grinding and PS filtered pictures. Naturally, I have no ability to appreciate them.

So when Zheng Jianguo met Yang Na with fan Dailin at the beginning, he didn't have the idea of coveting. One was that he was new to the land and knew that she was not easy to provoke. The other was that he knew that there was a large garden waiting for him in the distance. There was no need to provoke this nest of flowers for a moment of joy.

It was not until Yang Na jokingly pointed out the relationship that Zheng Jianguo had a preliminary understanding of her aura. Later, after graduation, she was pushed down by Fiona. When she entered the hospital, she was faced with Catherine and Esther, who were not ashamed of themselves. She went to Esther's door to obtain the research results in his hands by means of meat compensation.

So far, Zheng Jianguo began to have a deeper understanding of the research results he has mastered. These results represent the silent research of countless people and time. If the human and material resources invested globally are converted into funds, I'm afraid trillions of dollars are not enough.

These achievements can not only exchange for the backtracking and submission of Xueba such as Yang Na and Esther, but also make these people become supporters of Zheng Jianguo in the research field. Now he has Tao Ye and Esther in the field of Helicobacter pylori, Catherine in the field of HIV, Celia in the field of blue pills, and MIT and Harvard University in the case of graphene.

Then Fiona ran back now. Zheng Jianguo felt that his father was the sister of the chief technology officer of the pharmaceutical factory and a good candidate for HIV. Just considering that there was no free lunch in the world, he said, "I have found something --"

Fiona passed over on the bed, supported her head with two ponytails with her hands, smiled all over her face, and slowly climbed up: "it's not the discovery of Massachusetts General Hospital?"

“duangduang~”

With two loud sounds after more than an hour of silence, Zheng Jianguo opened his eyes in bed and looked at the light outside the window vaguely shining on the ceiling. Before he could get back to where it was, two loud sounds came from the door in the distance: "duangduang -"

"Well, this is room 9023 of Hyatt Hotel."

An idea came to mind. Detective Zheng Jianguo picked up the gold watch on the head of the bed, pulled the bedside lamp, looked at the time, and found that it was only 4:31 a.m., so he tied his pajamas to the door and opened the cat's eye. Then he opened the latch and opened the door: "Anthony Delia?"

"Zheng, can we go in and talk to you?"

Anthony's face was a little white. He looked left and right at the hotel manager and the security personnel in suits. After looking back, he looked up and down at Zheng Jianguo, who was bleary eyed. Then he whispered, "we went for a test, and Augustus took us."

"Oh, come in."

Zheng Jianguo turned on the light and entered the room. Anthony followed Delia into the room. The hotel manager outside the door took his men away. Delia closed the door and said, "Zheng --"

"I didn't expect Augustus to toss so much -"

Looking at the look of the boyfriend and girlfriend, Zheng Jianguo guessed without difficulty that Augustus might have found them. Of course, the reason must be what he said to Anthony on the phone earlier. After waving his hand, he looked at the two suspicious faces and said, "first confirm that you are both positive?"

"Yes."

Anthony entered the house and his nose twitched twice. Delia had said, "this virus has really not been found yet?"

"Someone should have found it."

He took three glasses of water from the water dispenser. Zheng Jianguo took it and put it in front of them. He drank and said, "but they don't know it's caused by this virus. Just as we don't know the symptoms of this virus, can you two understand what I said?"

"Then how can we get this thing out of the body?"

Delia stretched out her hand and untied the silk scarf between her neck, revealing a piece of swollen neck lymph nodes. Zheng Jianguo stayed for a moment, put down the cup beside her mouth, and woke up after two steps. This state was wrong: "can I see your swollen part?"

"Zheng, you didn't find anything?"

Anthony looked suspiciously at Zheng Jianguo standing up, and Zheng Jianguo didn't know how to describe his mood. He silently stared at Delia's blackened neck lymph nodes. In his memory, this situation is a manifestation that HIV virus has invaded the immune system, because lymph nodes are originally the first line of defense for the human immune system to deal with virus invasion!

But Delia's virus defense line may have been broken——

"Wait a minute, you two. I'll find two doctors."

Zheng Jianguo's previous sleepiness completely disappeared. At this moment, he felt in a hurry. When he recalled seeing Delia in the morning, he was afraid that he had never dreamed that Delia had become an HIV patient, so he quickly left the two people out of the door and banged them in front of Esther's door without shoes.

But without smashing twice, Zheng Jianguo then turned and left like thinking of something. He quickly got to his room and picked up the phone. Sure enough, as he dialed the room number, Esther got through first, so he asked the other party to come over and hang up the phone and dial Fiona's number. I didn't want the sister to hear his request, Unexpectedly, she sprinkled Jiao in the microphone: "miss me so soon?"

"Come on, you, I have a patient here!"

Zheng Jianguo blurted out subconsciously, then woke up and hung up the phone. Fortunately, Esther had appeared at the open door and found the three inside with a question mark: "boss -"

“boss？”

Delia looked at Zheng Jianguo quickly, and he said to them, "Esther is my assistant in the laboratory of Massachusetts General Hospital, and Catherine you just met is a colleague -"

“？？？”

Esther subconsciously looked at the question marks on their faces. When Zheng Jianguo was about to speak, a figure appeared outside the door. Fiona ran over in her pajamas: "what's the matter? Didn't you call 911? "

"I'm afraid 911 can't be solved -"

Zheng Jianguo swept through each other's pajamas, then looked at Delia nearby and said, "Delia, can they check the lymph nodes on your body for you?"

"Check your body?"

Fiona had already stepped in front of several people and looked at Delia. She immediately found the abnormal lymph nodes in her neck. Then she remembered Zheng Jianguo's statement that 911 could not be solved. She suddenly said, "this is --"

"You check it. Besides, I'll go to the bathroom."

When Zheng Jianguo reached the door, he closed the door and entered the bathroom. He quickly washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror. He found that the ribs on his chest were faint. He knew he had to continue to strengthen his exercise. Fortunately, he knew that the lymph node examination would not take long, so he pushed open the door of the bathroom and went into the room, Anthony had disappeared: "where's Anthony?"

"I went out to smoke."

Delia is looking at Zheng Jianguo's clothes. Esther and Fiona have arrived at Zheng Jianguo's side. The two women look at each other and look at each other's pajamas. Esther still says, "in addition to the swollen lymph nodes in the neck, the swollen lymph nodes in the groin and the inner epicondyle of the humerus are also 1.5cm in diameter, Hard, inelastic and painless palpation -- "

"Well --"

Zheng Jianguo nodded, came to Delia, looked at each other's exquisite makeup, curious cheeks and uneasy eyes, and said, "considering how long you have been infected --"

"I also had lymphadenopathy, neck, groin and armpit five years ago -"

When Anthony's voice came, Zheng Jianguo turned to look at the handsome boat generation 2 or boat generation 3, and then said, "Anthony, I think your lymph nodes were not hard and elastic at that time. This is not a good phenomenon. Moreover, due to Delia's heavy makeup, I can't see the original color on her face, so don't say it's a temperature measurement, Delia, Have you felt anything unusual lately? "

"Fever has exceeded 38 degrees for more than a month, and the ulcer in my mouth has never been better. Sometimes I have shortness of breath after high waves. In addition, the only good news is that I have lost weight. In the past, the maximum was about 110 pounds, but now it is only 95 pounds. My family doctor said it should be caused by some serious allergy."

Delia's white cheeks and black eyebrows twisted together. Zheng Jianguo turned his head and looked at Anthony nearby and said, "Anthony, have you ever injected a unique product before?"

"Well, I've been injected before, but it was injected by the person who kidnapped me. Later, I quit. Although it's very difficult, I haven't relapsed and injected again."

Anthony nodded slowly in the face of Zheng Jianguo and said that he seemed to fall into memory, but he didn't expect that Zheng Jianguo had been lying in his ear and said, "are you bisexual or heterosexual?"

"Does it matter?"

Anthony was completely stunned. He looked at Delia in the distance with two eyes on his firm cheek. Then he picked up his fingers and scratched the neatly combed hair on his forehead. Zheng Jianguo also said: "only the transmission of body fluid and blood has not been ruled out, and the most important thing is the blood where the virus lives.

In addition, considering the bleeding caused by mucosal damage and injected needles in X's life, Anthony, lymph nodes are the first line of defense against the invasion of foreign viruses, but Delia's line of defense has been conquered, which may be the reason for her continuous fever.

If you two have only each other, it can be confirmed that one of you has transmitted it to the other. Considering that you said earlier that there have been such lymphadenopathy before, Anthony, I suspect you passed it on to Delia. "

"No, it won't."

Anthony shook his head quickly, his face was shocked, just fell with his voice, and then widened his eyes as if he remembered something: "do you mean it will infect others?"

"Do you have any other X partners?"

Zheng Jianguo forcibly controlled himself not to look at Delia next to him. He saw Anthony's face slightly changed: "my ex-wife -"

"Well, you can take your ex-wife for a test -"

Zheng Jianguo was silent. After the meeting, he gave advice, and then turned to Delia: "Delia, what are you going to do now?"

"I, I don't know, I feel like you think I'm seriously ill -"

Delia shook her head and said that Zheng jianguoxin said that you are now an HIV patient. The most straightforward thing is to find relief for yourself. But remembering that this is the nearest HIV patient in the past two years, he said: "well, my suggestion is that you should reduce your exposure to bacteria and viruses from now on, that is, reduce travel and maintain ventilation, Don't let other viruses find you -- "

"What about my life? What about my social life? "

Delia asked two questions incredulously, then nodded like confirmation and said, "no, I won't give up my life, I won't give up my social life, Anthony, I'm gone -"

"OK, I'll see you off - Zheng, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Anthony immediately waved his hand around Delia and said to Zheng Jianguo. Of course Zheng Jianguo won't open his mouth to leave Delia, because that would only backfire: "OK, pay attention on the way."

"Thank you."

Anthony nodded and helped Delia turn and leave. Just as he opened the door, Zheng Jianguo saw director Amy outside the door and immediately said to Esther and Fiona, "go back and have a rest. Remember what happened today. Don't tell others. Pay attention to the patient's privacy."

"OK, boss."

Esther nodded and walked away with her pajamas wrapped around her. Fiona glanced at Dr. kafulan standing with director Amy at the door, and had to say goodbye: "Zheng, I'll see you in the morning."

"Well, thank you for coming."

Zheng Jianguo nodded affectably and took the man to the door. With the two women leaving, Amy said with a puzzled face: "Zheng, what's the matter?"

"These two are my friends. They are not feeling well and come to me for advice."

Looking at the Kaplan beside him, Zheng Jianguo vaguely gave Anthony and Delia a enough reason. Sure enough, Kaplan suddenly nodded and turned away.

Amy wanted to leave with the same look on her face. She saw Zheng Jianguo's eyes and an inaudible voice came at the same time: "the unknown virus test results of these two people are positive. Considering Esther's identity, I called Fiona -"

"That means Fiona already knows about this unknown virus laboratory?"

As the director of the digestive center of Massachusetts General Hospital, Amy of course knows that the existence of the unknown virus laboratory is almost a secret, but she can also understand that Zheng Jianguo simply took Esther in front of female patients, which is really against the requirements of the ethics committee in his bedroom, but she didn't take it to heart: "don't think about it now, When the meeting is over, let's go back and finish the meeting first. "

"OK, director Amy, you should rest early."

It was to pull Fiona into the unknown virus laboratory to complete the report. Zheng Jianguo was in a good mood and went back to the house with a look of excitement. Of course, in real terms, Delia was not the first HIV patient he met.

The first HIV patient in the real sense, or the person Zheng Jianguo met with una at Burger King fast food restaurant at that time, Pneumocystis carinii caused pneumonia for a long time, and now it must have come to the end of life after suffering from hell like torture?

"Poor Delia was in front of Anthony -"

Delia with uneasy eyes appeared in front of him. Zheng Jianguo's excitement turned into a heavy heart. He has seen all kinds of tragedies after the onset of HIV patients. As far as he knows, according to the lethality and disability, HIV can't be ranked at all.

However, the reason why the virus is so terrible is its seemingly "pure good" but actually "extremely vicious" performance: after destroying the immune system, it will look on coldly and watch the influx of other viruses and germs destroy the patient's body and mind.

The first case of parasites transmitting cancer to humans, but this is the case.

With a complex attitude towards Delia, Zheng Jianguo failed to put down the burden and fell asleep for a long time. He didn't fall asleep until there was a faint white fish belly on the curtain outside the window.

But he didn't sleep long. Zheng Jianguo was awakened by Yang Na, who was diagnosed with HIV. Looking at the bright window, she wiped the cold sweat on her head and found that it was less than two hours from the beginning of the meeting: "FAK!"
