at

b. encouraging condom use.
c. explaining AIDS dementia.
d. avoiding blood transfusions.

to be important and should be taught to the elderly population. Option C: AIDS dementia presents
clinically with many of the same symptoms as Alzheimer's disease. This topic is of much less
importance than educating about the use of condoms. Option D: Little to no danger exists from
blood transfusions.
