【单选题】TheDevelopment ofBoth HIVAnd ItsCure As the number of people infected (传染) with theAIDS—causing HIV rose to more than 14 million worldwide and as new research showed that in the U.S. one of every 92 young men may be infected, a cure for the disease still remained an elusive(令人困惑的) dream. To help slow the spread of HIV to infants, theCD
C、in July called for all pregnant(怀孕的) women to be tested for the virus(毒素). The recommendation (推荐) stemmed (发展) from
A、study that found that the risk that an HIV-infected woman will pass the virus on to her unborn child is cut by two-thirds if the mother receives the drug azidothymidine (AZT) during pregnancy. The year was also marked by the first official recognition (认可)that treating HIV-infected people with a combination(结合) of antiviral(抗毒素的) drugs is superior to treating them with onlyAZT, a drug that had been the gold standard of treatment since the late 1980s.At an international conference inCopenhagen, a pane(专门小组)of scientists recommended that patients with theAIDS virus receive combination therapy, although there was still no consensus (一致)on when in the course of the disease the drugs should be starteD、InDecember the FD
A、approved the first of a long-awaited new class ofAIDS drugs, called protease inhibitors , Physicians emphasized, however, that the new drug, saquinavir, is not a cure and must be taken in combination with otherAIDS drugs.
A、glimmer(微光)of hope for a cure came when a team from the University of Washington reported in November that a new drug, PMPA, prevented monkeys from becoming infected by the monkey version of HIV even when the virus was injected(注射) directly into the animals.The year also provided the research community (界) , with a few more clues (线索) on how to attack HIV. In June researchers found that 70% of WestAfrican women infected with a slow-acting, less easily transmitted(传播)type of the virus were protected against infection by the faster-acting type, which was most common in the West.Earlier in the year hopes for lifesaving(救命的)AIDS treatments or vaccines (痘苗) were also bolstered (支持) by an intriguing(激起好奇心的)—and hotly debated—report that at least two children who had been born infected with theAIDS virus later became free of it. Despite the mammoth(巨大的) swath(长而宽的地带) of destruction(破坏) thatAIDS has cut around the world since it first surfaced(升到水面) just 15 years ago, it took a much rarer(稀有的)—and much swifter(反应快的)—killer, theEbola virus, to jolt (唤起) the public out of its complacency(自满) toward the threat of emerging infectious (感染性的) diseases. Which of the following statements about HIV andAIDS is NOT TRUE、
A、There are different types of HIV in the worlD、
B．HIV may causeAIDS.

C、In the U. S. more than 1% of young men are infected by HIV.
