AIDS fight?

combination therapy fights AIDS by

A. curing opportunistic infections and increasing the number of leucocytes

B. modifying the genetic makeup of the patient's immune cells

C. modifying the genetic makeup of the virus

D. reducing replication of the virus and building up the patient's immune system

any idea which one? thanks

Answer is D
HIV combination therapy is also known as HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy).
It has two main actions-
1. It reduces viral load by inhibiting some steps of HIV replication.
2. It builds up patient's immune system by increasing CD-4 cell count in the blood.

The treatment of oppurtunistic infections is different from HIV combination (HAART) therapy.

to fight aids , everyone to be faithful to their one and only partner,
stop committing adultery,
don't rely on the safe sex campaign, when condoms can have a failure rate of up to 16%

I would go for choice A. Since AIDS targets the immune system, cause of death usually arises from diseases unrelated to the HIV infection itself. The other choices are still being researched.
