Solution

The correct option is D AIDS

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a syndrome caused by the HIV virus that interferes with the body's ability to fight infections. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not a cure for HIV due to various reasons, one of them being its ability to hide its instructions inside the cells where it is made inaccessible to drugs. But, antiviral therapy does help to manage the levels of HIV and also helps patients to live a long and healthy life.

Syphilis is sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum. It can be treated by administering antibiotics, especially penicillin.

Candidiasis is caused by the fungus Candida albicans. This disease is characterised by painful inflammation of the vagina with discharge in females and inflammation of urethra in males.

Trichomoniasis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. It is characterised by vaginitis, discharge from vagina in females and inflammation of urethra, epididymis, prostate, etc in males.
