Why is it so important that people living with HIV or AIDS find ways of reducing the stress in their lives?
a. Because this illness compromises the immune system, and having too much stress will further limit the body's ability to fight illness. b.

These are the neurotransmitters that are released by people who have too much stress in their lives. c. Because the medications used to treat these illness cannot be effective in individuals who have high stress due to the negative interaction of the drugs and cortisol, the stress hormone. d.
