Question:
Answer:
Individuals with acute HIV infection tend to have high viral loads.
Correct Answer?
Explanation:
Typical symptoms of acute HIV include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and jaundice.
In studies of tenofovir-emtricitabine for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), antiretroviral drug resistance did not develop in patients who started PrEP while acutely infected with HIV.
Because individuals with acute HIV infection are ill, they are unlikely to transmit HIV to others.
