Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
How are you coping with your diagnoses? Are you able to get any support?
Your CD4 Â count is good and will increase over time. Your viral load will also drop with the treatment that you’re on.
People who start treatment with a high CD4 count can expect to have a similar life expectancy to people who aren’t positive. More answers on life expectancy are at this link:
