Question:

Which of the following statement is incorrect about HIV- AIDS?

Options:

By 2003, an estimated 4 crore people were infected with HIV- AIDS worldwide, two-thirds of them in Africa and half of the rest in South Asia.

In North America and other industrialized countries, new drug therapies dramatically lowered the death rate from HIV- AIDS in the late 1990s.

These treatments were cheap and were used in Africa too to reduce the death rates.

None of the above.

Correct Answer:

These treatments were cheap and were used in Africa too to reduce the death rates.

Explanation:

By 2003, an estimated 4 crore people were infected with HIV- AIDS worldwide, two-thirds of them in Africa and half of the rest in South Asia. In North America and other industrialized countries, new drug therapies dramatically lowered the death rate from HIV- AIDS in the late 1990s. But these treatments were too expensive to help poor regions like Africa where it has proved to be a major factor in driving the region back into deeper poverty.
