Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

In the latent period, which can last up to 10 years, the CD4+ count falls gradually to approximately 200 cells/ L. Some people experience swollen lymph nodes that are chronically swollen for more than 3 months in at least two locations, not including the groin. The lymph nodes may be sore or visible externally.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Dietary modification of the inflammatory response through the use of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are present in oily fish and fish oil, may be effective in preventing some negative manifestations of inflammation.
