Answer to Question 1

1
The ELISA test detects HIV antibodies. The Western blot is used as a confirmatory test to a positive ELISA test. Red blood cell counts and platelet counts are part of standard blood studies.

Answer to Question 2

4
Kaposi's sarcoma presents as abnormal lesions that appear purple or blue-red in color. They can be found anywhere but are common on the feet, arms, thighs, perineal area, and face. Cachexia is tissue wasting. Burkitt's lymphoma is characterized by enlarged lymph nodes. AIDS-related syndrome is a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by the HIV virus.
