Post test counselling is an important part of the handling of cases of :

  • A.Cancer
  • B.Alzheimer's disease
  • C.Senile dementia
  • D.HIV AIDS

Answer: D

Post-test counselling is a standard part of handling HIV/AIDS.

HIV testing is done under a protocol of informed consent with pre-test and post-test counselling. After the result, the counsellor explains what it means, offers emotional support, discusses disclosure, safer behaviour and partner testing, and links a positive client to treatment. This is a formal part of national HIV programmes, including India's.

Cancer, Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia involve counselling at diagnosis, but none has a routine screening test with a built-in post-test counselling step of the kind that defines HIV testing.
