HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).
Unlike some other viruses, the human body can’t get rid of HIV completely. So once you have HIV, you have it for life.
HIV attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight off infections. If left untreated, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body, making the person more likely to get infections or infection-related cancers. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infections and disease. These opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS, the last state of HIV infection.

What qualities are important in a close friend?
Darya [45]
I would go with B. A friend needs to empathize and show that they care about your feelings. 

As for A, a friend does not need to always agree withe every single thing you say. Everyone has their different opinions and feelings about certain things. Let's say you like a certain food. Maybe your friend doesn't agree and actually dislikes that food, but both of you are still friends despite the fact that you do not agree about the food.

For C, a friend should always be honest. Of course, they should not be so blunt as to hurt your feelings very badly, but they should tell you what they truly think, but in a polite and civil way, of course.

For D, they are not reliable if they are only like that when they are in a good mood. Even if they are upset with you, that does not give them the right to give out any secrets or any private information that you have shared with them.

So, in conclusion, B: Empathizes by showing care and sensitivity to your feelings, is the best option.

I hope I helped! :D

Which of the following scenarios best describes interval training?
bezimeni [28]

The correct answer is B. Sprinting 100 yards, resting, sprinting 200 yards, resting, sprinting 300 yards, resting, sprinting 200 yards.

Explanation

Interval training is a type of training mainly used in athletics, cycling, and swimming, in which after warming up, great efforts are made for a certain time separated by a break. That is to say, that interval workouts require the body, give it a short break and return it to an effort. This type of training allows the body to adapt to a short recovery and try harder and harder. Therefore, option B "Sprinting 100 yards, resting, sprinting 200 yards, resting, sprinting 300 yards, resting, sprinting 200 yards" is an interval training because you have to do one hundred, two hundred and three hundred yards sprints, separated by breaks which means effort increases but this includes intervals or breaks. So, the correct answer is B. Sprinting 100 yards, resting, sprinting 200 yards, resting, sprinting 300 yards, resting, sprinting 200 yards.
