On Anti Retroviral Treatment. High CD4 Count. What Does It Mean?
hi, i have been on Anti retroviral treatment for 5 years now. My viral load came down from over 13,000 over 7 years ago and remained non detectable for the past over two years. I did a blood test last month and my CD4 count is 557 which is higher than it has been in last several years however my CD 8 is high at 1409 and the CD3 is high at 2112. What does this mean?

You are on Highly active anti retroviral therapy, and your viral load is coming down and CD4 count is raising. That means it is a good prognosis. you are responding very well to the treatment. Do adhere to the treatment, have healthy life style and safe sex practices.
