Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CMV (Cytomegalovirus) is a common virus that can be particularly harmful to individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV. It is often spread through close contact with young children, who can shed the virus in their urine and saliva. Therefore, a patient who works in a day care, where they are likely to have close contact with young children, is at the highest risk for developing CMV.
