Ans:
C, D, E

Feedback:

Children differ as to their clinical presentation of HIV infection when compared to adults. Failure to thrive (gain weight/height), CNS abnormalities (listlessness), and developmental delays are the most prominent primary manifestation of HIV infection in children. Answers A and B are normal growth and developmental tasks of a 6-month-old.
