c. People’s audits.
Government or institutional audits are those that are conducted in-house or through external, professional,
auditing institutions, and are ordinarily conducted without the significant involvement of the affected people
and/or the intended beneficiaries.
Social audits are those that are conducted jointly by the government and the people, especially by those people
who are affected by, or are the intended beneficiaries of, the activity being audited.
People’s audits are those that are conducted by the people themselves, including those who are directly affected
or are the intended beneficiaries, sometimes with the assistance of movements and NGOs, but invariably with
the sincere effort to involve the concerned department or institution.

Q 58.C
The following are some of the major differences between the two strains:
1. The first major difference between the two strains lies in the number of cases reported under each strain.
While HIV1 is the most common strain and is found in the majority of HIV infection cases, HIV2 is the less
common strain and is not found very often.
2. Another major difference between HIV1 and HIV2 is in relation to the areas of prevalence. While HIV1 can be
found across all the places of the world, the less common HIV2 is mainly concentrated to areas of Western
Africa. HIV2 cases are mainly found in countries like, Senegal, Nigeria, as well as the Ivory Coast. Apart from this,
it has also spread into countries like France and Portugal, as a result of economic relationships with these
countries.
3. Apart from that, another important difference lies in terms of clinical research, as well as medical facilities
available for each strain. Although, we may have a number of antiretroviral therapies, which are there for the
treatment of HIV; these antiretroviral therapies mainly focus on the HIV1 strain, since it is most common. HIV2,
being less common had less scope for clinical research. Due to this reason, there has not been much medical
development, as far as HIV2 is concerned.
4. Also, HIV2 has been found to be slow in progress and has been found to weaken the immune system at a
much slower rate, than the HIV1 strain. It has also been said that, HIV2 is less infectious in the earlier stages and
is also said to be less easily transmitted.
5. However, in the later stages, it is HIV2 which does more damage. It has been found to be more infectious in
the later stages, causing a number of ailments in a very short span of time.
