HIV CD4 Count

CD4 count is a test that counts how many CD4 cells you have in your blood. It is a type of white blood cell, called T cells, which move throughout your body to find and destroy bacteria, viruses, and other invading germs.
The results of your tests help your doctor know how much damage has been done to your immune system and what can happen next if antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not started. All people living with HIV should start ART, whether the CD4 count is high or low. CD4 counts are expected to increase in response to effective ART.
Keeping your CD4 count with effective ART can delay the symptoms and complications of HIV and help you live longer. In fact, studies have shown that patients who receive regular treatment can achieve a lifespan similar to that of people who have not been infected with HIV.
People with very low CD4 counts may need to take medication to prevent specific opportunistic infections (OIs) in addition to taking their ART. Once the CD4 count increases in response to ART, it may be possible to stop taking these OI drugs.
