Explanation / Answer

The correct answers are option A, B, D and G. Option A, B and G are not the treatment rather these are prevention. In option D, the AIDS is diagnosed when CD4 count becomes less than 200, It does not mean the treatment should be started only after reaching CD4 count below 200. Even treatment can be started earlier if it is diagnosed by any mean. Option C and F are the treatment because inhibition of transcription of viral RNA to DNA will inhibit the growth and replication of HIV virus and CCR5 are the receptors used by the HIV virus and thus by blocking these receptors, the growth and replication of HIV virus can be inhibited.
