5.Prevalence will decrease if a new drug reduces mortality associated with the disease, even if it does not result in a cure.

Explanation: prevalence is the total number of persons infected with a disease within a given population. It is always expressed as a percentage of the total population still infected.Further more,it can be expressed as a product of the incidence and it's duration. If a new drug is developed which does not cure the disease prevalence will either remain the same( if there are other preventive activities) or continue to rise. Prevalence is mathematically expressed as

Prevalence=(number of infected population/total population)*100.
