HIV/AIDS is generally described as terminal in nature because it is?

A. preventable
B. transmittable
C. avertable
D. incurable

Correct Answer: Option D

D. incurable

Explanation

A terminal illness is a disease that cannot be cured or treated (for an improved prognosis) and is thus likely to cause death within no more than a few years. HIV/AIDS is a terminal illness if one does not have access to care and/or is non-compliant with his or her medical therapy.
