Read the following paragraph and choose/tick the correct answer in each of the five questions
To grasp the proportions of the HIV pandemic, public health perspectives, epidemiological models, biomedical information, and psychological interpretations are used to help figure out who is infected, who will become infected, and where these infections are most likely to occur. However, anthropology takes a different approach, one that helps to clarify the dynamic relationship between people, who are infected or at risk for infection, and their social, cultural, political, and economic surroundings, Such research is important because it can provide rich explanations of why people become infected or progress rapidly in HIV disease. This in turn can assist all manner of institutions in addressing a wide variety of local issues for those who need their services and support. Moreover, anthropological analyses often help describe the dynamic links between individual practices, social and cultural systems, and larger structural forces, all of which may combine in ways that encourage the problems of HIV.
Working alone or as part of teams to collect and analyze data, most anthropologists enter into an extended engagement with groups of people who are dealing with numerous aspects of HIV and AIDS. Since anthropology begins from the premise that circumstances and phenomena are complex within different populations, we employ a variety of methods and theoretical frameworks to reach our understatings. As a result, we do not develop monolithic models for explaining HIV and AIDS.
These anthropological studies and many others contribute to a very broad research and theoretical literature on HIV and AIDS, which can be drawn upon by community-based organizations, policy makers, and other researchers, However, some anthropologists work more directly with groups and organizations on problems posed by primary prevention (preventing HIV transmission) and secondary prevention (slowing the disease's progression). Here anthropology is well-suited for both formative research and conducting evolutions of programs and services. With a greater clarity regarding local social and cultural barriers to HIV prevention, some local HIV prevention program designers rapidly developed more culturally appropriate prevention programs for these groups of men. Because HIV and AIDS are a dynamic part of lived experiences, learning about how people conceptualize and shape their ideas and practices around the virus, selfhood, sex practices, collective life, and institutions is important. And when these concepts become part of a foundation for HIV/AIDS programs, the services are able to respond to peoples needs since the programs make better sense within the contexts of people's lived realisties.
As we head into the next century, biotechnology's advances are beginning to reconfigure the HIV/AIDS pandemic. While this is good news, it also means the meanings of HIV and AIDS become more complex and difficult to navigate. Moreover while new pharmaceutical therapies are providing hope for many enfranchised people in the West, infection rates climb and many more people remain unable to access these treatments. For most of us, culturally specific education and services will still be the most effective means to prevent infection or stem disease progression in many communities. In this light, the variety of perspectives offered by anthropology becomes even more crucial. This is because the foundations of these prevention efforts and services need to be developed with considerable understanding of how HIV and AIDS are constructed and shaped in a dynamic relationship with local complexities and concerns.

46. Which one of the following is valid in the context of the disease under consideration

Spread of HIV and AIDS is independent of local cultural issues and complexities

HIV is easily treatable by local remedies

HIV and AIDS is a very simple to understand disease

Culturally-specific education and services are most effective to stop disease spread


47. Which one of the following is true

Anthropology has a limitation that it is not well suited for formative research

Anthropology is well-suited for evaluating programmes and services

Biotechnology advances have nothing to do with HIV spread

HIV treatment is universally available.


48. Which one of the following is not correct statement

Anthropology believes that circumstances and phenomena are complex within different populations

Anthropology contributes vastly to research and theoretical literature on HIV and AIDS

HIV and AIDS are a dynamic part of life experiences

Anthropologists should not unnecessarily meddle into the understanding and management of HIV and AIDS


49. According to the passage given above, which one of the following is correct

Anthropology tends to classify a dynamic relationship between infected people and their socio-cultural surroundings

Anthropological approach in understanding HIV spread is identical to epidemiological approach

Monolithic models are better for explaining HIV and AIDS

Local issues are not very important in management of HIV disease



50. Which one of the following statement is correct

Anthropologists generally work in the laboratories and rarely interact with people

Anthropologists employ a variety of methods and theoretical frameworks to understand a situation

Modern pharmaceutical therapies are proving useless for the treatment of HIV and AIDS

Hiv inflection rates have remained stagnant for many years
