Why Is It Not Surprising That AIDS Patients Frequently Suffer

question 2

Multiple Choice

Why is it not surprising that AIDS patients frequently suffer a viral-induced tumor?

• A) HIV genomes integrate into the host cell chromosome. This integration might result in loss of control of the cell cycle (also known as cancer).
• B) The immune system's CD4⁺ T cells are directly responsible for elimination of tumor cells. HIV attacks them and eliminates them, making a person more susceptible to cancer.
• C) The therapies for HIV are highly mutagenic, which may lead to cancerous states in people taking the drug regimen.
• D) Products of an active HIV infection are highly mutagenic; as a person's illness progresses, these compounds build up and induce a cancerous state.
• E) The DNA polymerases of people with AIDS lose any proofreading ability, so any mistakes that happen during DNA replication automatically lead to development of cancer.
