Answer to Question 1

D
Nutritional problems associated with the use of HAART include hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus. Loss of lean body mass and body fat occur if HAART is not used. Nausea and food aversions are more common side effects of cancer treatment. Hypertension and stroke are not associated with use of HAART.

Answer to Question 2

D
Infections that cause the morbidity associated with AIDS are called opportunistic infections. Neoplastic and metastatic are terms associated with cancer. Invasive infections occur when bac-teria invade blood, muscle, and fat tissue, rather than infecting epithelia.
