biostatistic- incidence

A recently discovered treatment for HIV AIDS significantly extends the lifespan of the patient, but does not prevent the disease or lead to its cure

Given this scenario, which of the following statements about HIV AIDS is true?

A. Its incidence will increase.
B. Its prevalence will increase.
C. Its incidence will decrease.
D. Its prevalence will decrease.
E. Both the incidence and prevalence will increase.
answer B
As the length of survival from HIV AIDS increases because of the new treatment (assuming the rate of new cases diagnosed remains unchanged), the number of cases present at any point in time (prevalence) increases. Incidence, based on the number of new cases only, remains unchanged
NOTE answer was taken from refrence not from me
