Answer to Question 1

C
Among the 43,171 new AIDS cases reported to the CDC in 2003, 49.9 were African Americans, 20.3 were Hispanics, and 26.6 were females. Increases in AIDS cases in women and heterosexuals and a slowing of cases in men who have sex with men (MSM) category are a direct reflection of early educational efforts directed at the MSM population, who were believed to be the only population at risk.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
