Answer to Question 1

D
Lochia, the uterine or vaginal discharge after delivery, is initially bright red, then changes to pink or pinkish brown, and finally becomes a yellowish-white color. It has a musty odor, but should not have a foul odor. Foul odor may be a sign of infection. Lochia rubra lasts 3 days and is mostly blood that is bright red. Lochia serosa begins at approximately 4 days and is a pink to pinkish-brown color. After 10 days, lochia alba begins, and the discharge becomes a yellowish-white color and may last 6 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

Vaginal candidiasis is the most common initial fungal infection occurring in HIV infected women.
