Answer from: cats0srule

Question 1: D) From mother to unborn child

Question 2.A) A disease that attacks a person with a weakened immune system

Question 3. B) Person who appears healthy but is infected with a disease

Question 4. D) T cells

Question 5. B) HIV causes AIDS

Explanation:

Question 1: HIV can not be transmitted through the air, swimming with an infected person or by sharing clothes by an infected person.

Question 2: An opportunistic infection is when a person's immune system is weak which makes it extremely easy for an infection to set in.

Question 3: A carrier is a person who appears healthy but is infected with a disease. The other options are incorrect.

Question 4: HIV targets T cells. HIV does not target B cells, red blood cells, or platelets therefore rendering these options incorrect.

Question 5: HIV Causes AIDS is the only true statement becasue neither HIV or AIDS can be cured and HIV causes AIDS not the other way around.

Hope this helps! :)
