What is the type of immune cell attacked by HIV?
-
CD2
-
CD4
-
CD6
-
CD8
Correct Answer
A. CD4Explanation
CD4 is the type of immune cell attacked by HIV. CD4 cells, also known as T-helper cells, play a crucial role in coordinating the immune response. HIV specifically targets CD4 cells and uses them as a host to replicate itself, leading to a progressive decline in the number of CD4 cells in the body. This depletion of CD4 cells weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and diseases.Rate this question:

Which of these body fluids is HIV not transmitted?
-
Breast milk
-
Blood
-
Semen
-
Sweat
Correct Answer
A. SweatExplanation
HIV is not transmitted through sweat. HIV can be transmitted through breast milk, blood, and semen, but not through sweat. Sweat does not contain a high enough concentration of the virus to transmit it to another person. Transmission of HIV typically occurs through activities that involve the exchange of bodily fluids, such as unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing needles, or mother-to-child transmission during childbirth or breastfeeding.Rate this question:

When was HIV was firstly discovered?
-
1960s
-
1950s
-
1980s
-
1990s
Correct Answer
A. 1980sExplanation
HIV was firstly discovered in the 1980s. This was a significant period in the history of HIV/AIDS as it marked the beginning of the global recognition and understanding of the disease. In 1981, the first cases of a rare form of pneumonia called Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) were reported among young homosexual men in the United States. This led to further investigations and the identification of a new virus, later named HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), as the cause of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). The discovery of HIV in the 1980s paved the way for extensive research, prevention efforts, and the development of antiretroviral therapies to manage the virus.Rate this question:

Which of these symptoms is not an early one?
-
Sore throat
-
Tuberculosis
-
Fever
-
Skin rash
Correct Answer
A. Sore throatExplanation

A. FluExplanation
The correct answer is Flu. In the early stages, Flu can have similar symptoms to HIV, such as fever, fatigue, and body aches. However, it is important to note that these symptoms alone are not enough to diagnose HIV, as there are several other factors and tests involved in confirming the presence of the virus.Rate this question:

Which of these is not a side effect of antiretroviral therapy?
-
Headache
-
Cough
-
Nausea
-
Dizziness
Correct Answer
A. CoughExplanation
Antiretroviral therapy is a treatment used to manage HIV infection. While headache, nausea, and dizziness are common side effects of antiretroviral therapy, cough is not typically associated with this treatment. Cough may be caused by other factors such as respiratory infections or allergies, but it is not directly linked to antiretroviral therapy.Rate this question:

Which of these is true of HIV AIDS?
-
Respiratory infection
-
Air-borne disease.
-
Sexually transmitted disease
-
Water-borne disease
Correct Answer
A. Sexually transmitted diseaseExplanation
HIV AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease. It is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. It can also be transmitted through sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. HIV is not transmitted through respiratory droplets or through water, making the options of respiratory infection and water-borne disease incorrect.Rate this question:

What is the treatment of HIV called?
-
Renal dialysis
-
Pulmonary embolism
-
Antiretroviral therapy
-
Cardiac exercise
Correct Answer
A. Antiretroviral therapyExplanation
Antiretroviral therapy is the treatment used for HIV. It involves the use of a combination of antiretroviral drugs to suppress the replication of the HIV virus in the body. This therapy helps to slow down the progression of the disease, improve the immune system, and reduce the risk of transmission to others. It is an essential treatment for people living with HIV and has been proven to be highly effective in managing the infection and improving the quality of life for individuals with HIV.Rate this question:

Which of these measures can HIV AIDS cannot be prevented?
-
Regular renal dialysis
-
Use of condoms
-
Sterilization of body-piercing objects
-
Limited sex partners
Correct Answer
A. Regular renal dialysisExplanation
Regular renal dialysis is a medical procedure used to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood in individuals with kidney failure. It is not a measure that can prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS. HIV is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, and mother-to-child transmission. Measures such as using condoms, sterilizing body-piercing objects, and limiting sex partners are effective in preventing the spread of HIV. However, regular renal dialysis does not have any direct impact on preventing HIV/AIDS transmission.Rate this question:
