Answer: Statement A, C and D are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

HIV virus spreads by body fluids that attacks the immune system of the body. It mostly affects the CD4 cells commonly known as T-cells of the body.

It symptoms includes fatigue, malaria and is not easily detectable. It is mostly confused with common cold and flu.

Once a test is done in case of HIV it is 100% accurate and does not requires further follow up tests.

FDA has also approved a test kit which can detect the presence of HIV virus in less than 20 minutes. It can also be conducted as a part of general check up for patients.

Hence excluding statement B, all the other parts are true.
