I believe the correct answer is: HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of virus which causes an impairment of the immune system of the person making them susceptible to diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and any other disease that can exploit this opportunity. It is spread by a person coming into direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as saliva during deep kissing, semen during intercourse, blood after an accident or even fluids when sharing needles and syringes for drug addicts. There is no cure but the current form of treatment slows down the virus to prevent some consequences.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>
The virus is enters the body through open wounds or surfaces such as the vagina or mouth where the skin is very thin and can tear. After penetrating the skin, it attaches to specific immune cells called CD8+ T-cells on points called receptors. It then enters the cell and replicates itself in the nucleus of the cell and as it goes out, it kills these immune cells making the person to have a weak immune system. The current drugs used called AntiRetroVirals (ARVs) such as the drug Zidovudin stops the virus from replicating thus reducing the total amount of virus in the body called the Viral Load. Some drugs target enzymes called proteases and reverse transcriptase that help the virus to replicate. This viral load is what is counted to estimate the total volume of HIV someone has in their body. Infected persons should use protection while having sex and also avoid sharing sharp objects to prevent transmission. They also need to take their medication to make them much more healthier in addition to taking proper balanced diets.

Deposition by the river replenishes soil in the wetlands with sediment and nutrients illustrates a positive effect that the Nueces River has on the wetlands.
Option: C
Explanation:
A river in its lower course leave the high elevated area and enters into the flat land. In the lower course of the river deposition is the prime work of a river. Estuary, delta are some of the landform that formed in the lower course of a river. Here, Nueces estuary is formed where Nueces river enters into the gulf.
In this gulf a wetland is formed which supports aquatic life and a dwelling place for them and land species also. Here, river deposits all its sediments and replenish the soil of wetland with new sediments and nutrients.
