Is perinatal HIV infection reversible?
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 5 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.
1. It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of children who was born by HIVinfected mothers can get negative result of HIV tested after 5 years old of
age due to the clearance mechanism of their immune systems.
A. True
B. False
C. Doesn’t say
2. It is still a controversial issue about perinatally- acquired HIV infection and
the clearance mechanism.
A. True
B. False
C. Doesn’t say
3. 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 1 years old to over
the past 5 years.
A. True
B. False
C. Doesn’t say

4. 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
5. 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

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.
