Answer
Hello,
Thanks for your email. I am very sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. Finding out that you are HIV positive is never easy. Do you have any support to help you deal with this?
With a CD4 count of 144 it is good that you are talking about starting ARVs. The ARVs will reduce the amount of HIV and this will let your CD4 count become stronger.
Until you start ARVs, there is a risk of infections like TB and pneumonia. This doesn’t mean you definitely will get sick, but ARVs make this much less likely. Have you discussed starting ARVs with your doctor?
CD4MAX is NOT a proven medical treatment.
There is NO proven benefit to taking it and it will NOT treat your HIV or increase your CD4 count.
Products like these claim to benefit people living with HIV but they are NOT proven.
At best, they are a waste of money, at worst they could be dangerous for your health.
Hi,
Like the answer says above CD4 Max is not proven to do anything. It will not help fight your HIV and might be bad for you. The only effective way to control HIV is to take HIV treatment.
I would like to know more about CD4 max I just found out I’m positive a month back and my CD4 count is 495
