The case of an infant who was found to be HIV-positive shortly after birth and who subsequently cleared the virus, raised some intriguing questions about perinatally- acquired HIV infection The child was born in Los Angeles by a woman who had been diagnosed as having a symptomatic HIV-1 infection during the fourth month of pregnancy At birth, the child tested negative but at 19 and again at 51 days, HIV-1 was detected in his peripheral blood mononuclear cells However, at 12 months of age, the child was again negative, and numerous subsequent tests over the past years have also been negative, providing evidence of clearance of the virus An estimated 30 to 40 percent of HIV-infected mothers transmit the virus to their infants, and the majority of the infants will then go on to develop symptoms of AIDS within a few years Several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this observation, the most plausible of which are the presence of a defective virus or the elimination of the virus by the child’s immune system At any rate, understanding the mechanism of clearance, whether it is based on the biologic nature of the virus or the immune response of the host, could have profound implications for HIV-1 therapy and vaccine design It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of children who was born by HIVinfected mothers can get negative result of HIV tested after years old of age due to the clearance mechanism of their immune systems A True B False C Doesn’t say It is still a controversial issue about perinatally- acquired HIV infection and the clearance mechanism A True B False C Doesn’t say The child who was born in Los Angeles by a woman with HIV-1 infection has got negative result for several tests done when he was years old to over the past years A True B False C Doesn’t say There have been no explanation for the fact that 30 to 40% of HIV-infected mothers transmit the virus to their infants, and the majority of the infants will then go on to develop symptoms of AIDS within a few years A True B False C Doesn’t say Understanding the mechanism of clearance, whether it is based on the biologic nature of the virus or the immune response of the host, could provide profound implications for HIV-1 therapy and vaccine design A True B False C Doesn’t say IV Choose the correct answer A, B or C according to the text Reading Passage one Biofeedback is on the verge of becoming an important tool in medical therapy Using biofeedback, a patient can learn to control certain body systems, such as heartbeat, temperature, or blood pressure that are normally autonomic or selfregulating The patient is attached to a machine measuring the function he wishes to control When the desired result is achieved, the patient hears a steady tone that indicates that the patient has successfully manipulated that body function to a more desirable state For example, if a patient wishes to learn to control his heartbeat, he is attached to a biofeedback machine monitoring his heartbeat When the patient manages to successfully slow his heartbeat, the biofeedback machine rewards him with a low, dull noise Today researchers are using biofeedback to treat patients with such maladies as irregular heartbeat, migraine headaches, and high blood pressure The medical community foresees myriad applications that may be treated with biofeedback in the future The main purpose of this passage is to ………………… A describe a medical technique that is being used extensively throughout the medical community B describe a new, potentially helpful medical treatment C explain how a patient uses biofeedback to control his heartbeat According to the passage, what is an autonomic body process?
