Answer to Question 1

C
In the United States, transfusion of infected blood and blood products and transplantation of infected tissues account for 1 of the total adult and adolescent AIDS cases and 2 of the total pediatric AIDS cases. HIV infection can be transmitted from a mother to her infant during pregnancy, at the time of delivery, or after birth, through breastfeeding. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 30 of infected mothers will transmit HIV to their infants, with approximately 50 to 70 of the transmissions occurring late in utero or intrapartum. In the United States, among children who are less than 13 years old and have AIDS, 93 were infected at birth.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
