    Hi Tom,

    When you say its been a lot lower, what do you mean? Also are you on medication? If you are how long have you been on medication for? Do you know what your viral load is?

    Hi Amarachi,

    On average, the normal CD4 range for an HIV negative person is between 460 and 1600. This is an average. Anywhere in this range is good.

    There’s more info on the Q&A for What is a normal CD4 count, CD4% and CD4:CD8 ratio.

    Hi Tyson,

    On average, the normal CD4 range for an HIV negative person is between 460 and 1600. This is an average. Anywhere in this range is good.

    Although generally a higher CD4 is good, an HIV negative person with a normal CD4 count of 1200 is not more healthy than someone whose normal count is 400.

    It’s great that you’ve been on HIV treatment (ART) since 2012. Do you have access to your viral load results? Having an undetectable viral load is the best way to see if your ART is working well.

    Hi Sudhir,

    A CD4 count of 548 is within the normal range for someone who is HIV negative. Please see this Q&A. What’s your viral load and what HIV meds are you taking?

    My CV4 reports 548
