B
HIV always results in AIDS
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the U.S., most people with HIV do not develop AIDS because taking HIV medicine as prescribed stops the progression of the disease. A person with HIV is considered to have progressed to AIDS when: the number of their CD4 cells falls below 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood (200 cells/mm3).

Detailed explanation-2: -HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). There is currently no effective cure. Once people get HIV, they have it for life.

Detailed explanation-3: -Shaking hands with infected persons is not a mode of transmission of HIV AIDS. Transfusion of contaminated blood, sharing the infected needles and sexual contact with infected persons is the main mode of transmission of HIV.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through saliva, tears, or sweat. By hugging, shaking hands, sharing toilets, sharing dishes, or closed-mouth or “social” kissing with someone who has HIV. Through other sexual activities that don’t involve the exchange of body fluids (for example, touching). Through the air.
