The correct response is:

Alcohol increases the risk by impairing your judgment.

Alcohol can lead to risky behaviors, such as unprotected sex, which can increase the likelihood of contracting HIV. The other statements are incorrect. Alcohol does not carry HIV, does not kill the virus, and does not cause sexual abstinence.
