Answer:

B). HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimise the long-term consequences.

Explanation:

HIV is an infection that is caused by human immunodeficiency virus. The virus spreads through contact with the infected bodily fluids such as semen, blood or vaginal fluids. Mostly people get infected due to unprotected sexual intercourse which results in transmission of infected bodily fluids during penal-vaginal contact. Another way of transmission of infection involves the sharing of the used needles obtained from the person infected with HIV.  

Further explanation:

The HIV infection attacks the immune system of the host body. It destroys the white blood cells of the body, as a result of which body immune system becomes ineffective to fight against the virus. A doctor can diagnose the presence of HIV virus in the bodily fluids by detecting the presence of HIV antibodies in the saliva, urine and blood. As the virus hampers the immune system, the body becomes weak and susceptible to diseases. The late detection cannot save the patient, but earlier detection and confirmation of the condition can help in providing treatment. The antiretroviral therapy slows the rate at which the virus multiplies in the patient body and is a kind of earlier treatment process. The doctor also performs two tests for the routine diagnosis and detection of virus:

Viral load: It is done to show the amount of virus present in the blood.

CD4+ cell count: It gives indication of how well the patient immune system is working to fight against the virus.

correct answer. Which of the following risk factors has the most immediate impact on a person's health?
ivann1987 [24]
It all depends on what you truly think.....

But smoking cigarettes can cause lung diseases such as COPD, Emphysema and chronic bronchitis. You can also get lung cancer or if you have asthma you can have attacks, more attacks or worse ones. Could happen right away or take time, depending on the person and situation, how much you smoke, what you smoke,how long,your age,history

Not wearing a seatbelt while driving can result in you getting in an even worse car accident than if you were wearing one, you can get thrown from the car. Happens right away

Eating too much junk food may result in weight gain and higher risk of illnesses such as obesity. This can happen right away or overtime, depending on the person and situation, how long you do this, your age,height & history

Not exercising for atleast 30mins. per day can take time for you to gain weight, get sick easier and have a shorter lifespan or quickly, depends on the situation & person, how long they've been not doing this, how old they are, how active they are or were

It's your choice but I would say not wearing a seatbelt while driving
