Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

All four listed conditions—swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, memory loss, and weight loss—are recognized manifestations associated with advanced HIV infection and AIDS. Clinical sources list swollen lymph glands, recurrent or profuse night sweats, rapid or unexplained weight loss, and neurocognitive symptoms such as memory loss or confusion among common signs and complications seen in people with AIDS [1]. Reviews of late-stage HIV/AIDS likewise enumerate fevers/night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, profound weight loss (cachexia), and impaired memory or other neurological deficits as typical features linked to opportunistic infections and immune deterioration in AIDS. Therefore, options 1–4 are all symptomatic of AIDS, making “1, 2, 3 and 4” the correct choice.
