Is a CD4 count of 500 ok?
Answer
Hi,
A CD4 of 500 is very strong. It shows that your immune system is working well. People who do not have HIV usually have CD4 count between about 400 and 1600. So you are within that range.
A CD4 count of 200 is a marker for increased risk of opportunistic infections. You are way above that.
