<p>HIV primarily affects the immune system by attacking and destroying T cells. (B), HIV infection can be prevented by the use of antiretroviral drugs that inhibit viral replication. (C), HIV is a rapidly evolving virus due to its high mutation rate and fast reproduction. (D)</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>HIV's rapid mutation rate leads to variations among viral strains, some of which may be better adapted to evade the immune system. (A), The environment within the human body, including the immune system, drives the selective process of HIV evolution. (B), The human body's immune response selects against weaker strains of HIV, favoring the survival of more resistant strains. (C), Antiretroviral drugs act as a selective pressure, favoring the evolution of drug-resistant strains of HIV. (D)</p> Signup and view all the answers
