Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3

This patient should wear a Medic-alert bracelet identifying allergy, carry an epinephrine pen at all times, and wear long sleeves while outdoors. It is not necessary for the patient to stay indoors or take an antihistamine prior to going outside.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4, 1, 3, 2

Anal intercourse is damaging to sensitive tissues, thereby increasing trauma and risk of transmission. Heterosexual intercourse between partners using latex condoms is the second riskiest behavior of these choices. Monogamous sex between partners who are both ELISA and Western Blot negative still carries some small risk. Abstinence is the safest practice.
