Which of the following statement about AIDS is incorrect:
Correct answer: B. An infected mother cannot pass the virus to her baby.
- A. is a host specific disease
- B. An infected mother cannot pass the virus to her baby.
- C. Results in enlargement of lymph nodes
- D. Can be prevented.
Explanation
An infected mother can transmit HIV to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, so that statement is incorrect. AIDS is host-specific, may cause enlarged lymph nodes, and its transmission risk can be reduced or prevented through appropriate measures; students may select another option because prevention is not absolute without treatment and precautions.
