Question

• A. ARC
• B. Acute infections stage
• C. Symptomatic stage
• D. Nonsymptomatic stage

Answer 1

The correct option is A ARC

AIDS-related complex (ARC) is a phase of HIV infection described clinically but no longer commonly diagnosed in practice. ARC lacks only the opportunistic infections and neoplasms which define AIDS. ARC patients usually show symptoms of fatigue, weight loss upto 10%, night sweats, along with superficial fungal infections of the mouth and fingernails and toenails.

So, the correct answer is 'ARC'.
