HIV/AIDS is generally described as terminal in nature because it is

A.

Preventable

B.

Transmittable

C.

Avertable

D.

Incurable

Correct answer is D

A terminal illness is a disease that cannot be cured or treated (for an improved prognosis) and is thus likely to cause death within no more than a few years. HIV/AIDS is a terminal illness if one does not have access to care and/or is non compliant with his or her medical therapy.
