Which of the following is an AIDS-defining condition?

Kaposi's sarcoma
Common cold
High blood pressure
Diabetes

The correct answer is: Kaposi's sarcoma

An AIDS-defining condition is a medical condition that is specifically associated with advanced HIV infection. Kaposi's sarcoma is a type of cancer that is commonly associated with HIV/AIDS and is considered an AIDS-defining condition. The presence of Kaposi's sarcoma in a patient with HIV infection indicates a weakened immune system due to HIV. Therefore, option A, Kaposi's sarcoma, is the correct answer. Common cold, high blood pressure, and diabetes are not AIDS-defining conditions. While individuals with HIV may still experience these conditions, they are not specifically associated with advanced HIV infection and are not used to diagnose or stage AIDS.
