Solution

The correct option is C A and C
AIDS stands for Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome.

The causative agent of AIDS is Human Immuno deficiency Virus (HIV), which belongs to the group of viruses called retroviruses.

HIV infects cells such as macrophages and helper T-lymphocytes which play a crucial role in providing resistance against various pathogens in human beings.

The presence of HIV can be diagnosed by ELISA. ELISA stands for enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay. This diagnostic test is based on the principle of antigen-antibody reaction.

In India, awareness about AIDS is being spread mainly by the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) and other non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
