Question

Which is not related to HIV

• A. Primary CNS lymphoma
• B. Tertiary syphilis
• C. Oesophageal candidasis
• D. None

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The question asks for identifying what is not related to HIV among the given options. Let's examine each option briefly:

• Primary CNS lymphoma: This is a type of brain tumor and is associated with HIV, especially in patients who are immunocompromised.
• Tertiary syphilis: This refers to the late-stage symptom of syphilis, a separate sexually transmitted infection, which isn't directly related to HIV, although both can be co-infections in the same individual.
• Oesophageal candidiasis: This is a fungal infection in the esophagus and is commonly associated with HIV due to the weakened immune system.
• None: This implies that all options are related to HIV, which is incorrect given that tertiary syphilis is a distinct condition.

Based on this analysis, tertiary syphilis is the condition that is not directly related to HIV.
