Ans: C
Feedback:
The incidence of HIV, AIDS, and hepatitis A, B, and C are higher in the forensic population than in the general population, primarily because of high-risk behaviors demonstrated by many forensic clients, such as tattooing, ear and body piercing, risky sexual activity, and IV drug use. It is important that persons who have communicable diseases take action to reduce the spread of such diseases in the prison population.
