Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When HIV enters the body, a person may experience a mononucleosis-like syndrome, referred to as a primary infection, which lasts for few weeks. This may go unrecognized. The body's CD4 white blood cell count drops for a brief time when the virus is most plentiful in the body. The dendrite cells, macrophages, and monocytes are not as severely damaged as the CD4 cells.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
There are 10 basic elements of surveillance. Mortality registration, epidemic field investigation, laboratory reporting, and individual case investigation are among them. Application of research is not part of the 10 basic elements of surveillance.
