A 28-year-old married attorney with one child is in the first trimester of her second pregnancy. A colleague states that she is at no risk for HIV, so she would not need to be counseled about testing for HIV
The nurse's most appropriate response would be a. "She's a professional woman in a monogamous relationship. She obviously is not at risk."
b. "Women are not at great risk. The greatest risk is with gay men."
c. "The fastest-growing segment of the population with AIDS is women and children. We need to assess her risks."
d. "We need to review her chart to determine if her first child was infected."
C
Among the 43,171 new AIDS cases reported to the CDC in 2003, 49.9% were African Americans, 20.3% were Hispanics, and 26.6% were females. Increases in AIDS cases in women and heterosexuals and a slowing of cases in men who have sex with men (MSM) category are a direct reflection of early educational efforts directed at the MSM population, who were believed to be the only population at risk.
