The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about individuals who are at high risk of getting HIV infection. We need to analyze the provided options to determine which groups are indeed at high risk. 2. **Analyzing Option 1 - Individuals with Multiple Sexual Partners**: - Individuals who have multiple sexual partners are at a higher risk of contracting HIV. This is because the likelihood of exposure to an HIV-positive individual increases with the number of sexual partners. Additionally, this group is also at risk for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 3. **Analyzing Option 2 - Drug Addicts Who Take Drugs Intravenously**: - Intravenous drug users are at high risk for HIV infection primarily due to the sharing of needles and syringes. When needles are shared, any blood that may contain the HIV virus can be transmitted from one person to another. This practice significantly increases the risk of HIV transmission. 4. **Analyzing Option 3 - Individuals Who Require Repeated Blood Transfusions**: - People who require frequent blood transfusions are also at risk for HIV infection. If the blood being transfused is not properly screened for HIV, there is a chance that the recipient could receive contaminated blood from an HIV-positive donor. This risk is particularly significant if the blood products are not tested adequately. 5. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options: - All three groups (individuals with multiple sexual partners, intravenous drug users, and individuals requiring repeated blood transfusions) are at high risk of contracting HIV. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above." **Final Answer**: All of the above. ---
