RLE 109 CERTIFICATION EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
human immunodeficiency virus - Answer- is a virus that attacks cells that help the body
fight infection, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases.
HIV-1 - Answer- is the most common type of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The
virus attacks your body's immune system by destroying CD4 cells, which help your body
fight infections. This can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).
HIV-2 - Answer- is an enveloped retrovirus that causes infection in humans, similar to
HIV- 1. It is endemic to parts of West Africa, but globalization has led to worldwide
spread. It is estimated that 1 to 2 million people live with HIV-2, and without treatment,
infection invariably leads to significant morbidity and mortality.
Acute HIV infection - Answer- is the earliest stage of HIV infection, and it generally
develops within 2 to 4 weeks after infection with HIV. During this time, some people
have flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, and rash.
Chronic HIV Infection - Answer- The second stage of HIV infection is chronic HIV
infection (also called asymptomatic HIV infection or clinical latency). During this stage,
HIV continues to multiply in the body but at very low levels.
AIDS - Answer- is the final, most severe stage of HIV infection. Because HIV has
severely
damaged the immune system, the body cannot fight off opportunistic infections.
