Answer options:

A higher population of people in the UK

A lower number of trained HIV nurses

Better education on how to prevent the spread of HIV

How to approach this question

Read the question and focus on the word "decrease". Evaluate each option to see which one would logically lead to fewer people getting infected with HIV.

Full Answer

C.Better education on how to prevent the spread of HIV✓ Correct

A decrease in new HIV cases would be caused by measures that prevent the virus from spreading. Better education on prevention (e.g., safe sex practices, not sharing needles) is a key public health strategy to reduce the transmission of HIV. A higher population could increase cases, and fewer nurses would hinder treatment and management, not prevention.

Common mistakes

✗ Selecting an option that would likely increase the number of cases, like a higher population.
