Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Early symptoms of pediatric HIV infection include failure to thrive and developmental delays. Kaposi's sarcoma and oral candidiasis are common opportunistic diseases later in the disease process. Fatigue is a symptom seen with hepatitis and TB.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The EIA is used to indicate the presence of the antibody to HIV. To minimize false positive re-sults, the Western blot is used as a confirmatory test to verify the results. The EIA does not iso-late the virus, nor does it reveal whether the individual has symptomatic AIDS.
