Answer 1

it is not A for sure and not D becuase i took the test and it counted it wrong so my best educational guess is b

Answer 2

The answer is D, because HIV is not AIDS, but can lead to it. HIV is passed through bodily fluids, not one-on-one contact. HIV targets Helper T cells, and it can be up to years for a significant amount of Helper T cell count is lost, becoming AIDS, a life threatening disease.
