Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
HIV can be transmitted by sexual practices of not using a condom and through orogenital sex. Abstinence is the only way to ensure that HIV is not transmitted through sexual intercourse. Spermicides do not prevent HIV transmission, and there is no vaccination against HIV.

Answer to Question 2

C
Starting at age 25, adults should have an eye examination every 5 to 10 years until age 40, every 2 to 4 years from 40 to 54, and every 1 to 3 years from 55 to 64 . After age 65, eyes should be examined by an eye specialist every 1 to 2 years (AHRQ, 2014).
