Anyhow, some friends told me that some of the questions were tricky regarding HIV. The concepts were:
1) Why is HIV so hard to eradicate? (Concept was in molecular biology).
2) Which HIV section is responsible for the inability for vaccination (choices were env, gag, pol, ... up to about 5-6 choices I heard!)
3) Another was HOW QUICKLY does the virus titer elevate? The case concept was a health care worker injected with a needle stick only 7 days prior! (I think too soon for CD4 levels to show marked decrease which was of course what they wanted you to pick). They wished to know how to measure possible infection within such a short period of time, if any...
Big concept...HIV research...
