Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
CD4 Count 215 means she should be started on ART as early as possible. There is nothing to worry much. If she started on ART drugs and if she follows the guidelines of her ART physician and taking drugs regularly, she can live without any problem or symptoms for another 20 years comfortably. Meanwhile a break through in HIV management would likely to come and she would have a total cure. In Poona, You can meet Dr Snjay Poojari an eminent HIV Physician for further help. In all Government Medical colleges and bigger institutions there is facility for Free ART and follow up facilities. Your relative can choose any one of these facilities.
