Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) can infect anyone regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other demographic factor. This is because the virus is transmitted through specific means such as unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding, among others. The other statements are incorrect: HIV is not the same as AIDS (AIDS is a condition that can develop in people with HIV if the virus is not treated), there is significant social stigma and discrimination associated with HIV (contrary to B and C), and there are treatments available for HIV that, while not curing the virus, can manage its effects and prevent the progression to AIDS (contradicting E).
