Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

1
1. Correct. An initial HSV genital infection is characterized by multiple painful lesions, fever, chills, malaise, and severe dysuria and may last 2 to 3 weeks. Recurrent episodes of HSV infection commonly have only local symptoms that are usually less severe than those associated with the initial infection.
2. Incorrect. With HPV infection, lesions are a chronic problem.
3. Incorrect. 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 AIDS. There is no cure for AIDS.
4. Incorrect. In most adults, the onset of CMV infection is uncertain and asymptomatic. However, the disease may become a chronic, persistent infection.
