Answer :

Hello! I'll be helping you with your question. In the early 1980s, the group that was at high risk for contracting HIV/AIDS was: D. Blood-transfusion recipients. At that time, before proper screening measures were put in place to detect HIV in blood donations, individuals who received blood transfusions were at a significant risk of contracting the virus. This was a critical issue in the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic when the understanding of the virus and its transmission was still evolving.
