Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The initial HSV genital infection is characterized by multiple painful lesions, fever, chills, malaise, and severe dysuria; it may last 2 to 3 weeks. Recurrent episodes of HSV infection commonly have only local symptoms that usually are less severe than those of the initial infection.
B With HPV infection, lesions are a chronic problem.
C HIV is a retrovirus. Seroconversion to HIV positivity usually occurs within 6 to 12 weeks after the virus has entered the body. Severe depression of the cellular immune system associated with HIV infection characterizes acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS has no cure.
D In most adults the onset of CMV infection is uncertain and asymptomatic. However, the disease may become a chronic, persistent infection.
