Do I need to be worried, my CD4 is 35
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
A CD4 of 35 is low. It is however possible for your immune system to recover if you begin ARVs. Ideally you’ll need to start these as soon as possible.
Because its 35, you should follow the advise that’s included in this link:

Hi Anonymous,
It’s good that you started HIV treatment (ART) already. What meds are you taking? And do you have access to your viral load results?
Please let us know.
Anonymous my CD4 count is 53 am afraid but I started my treatment already
Hi, a CD4 count above 200 is still very good. After you start treatment, your count should get steadily higher. You are likely to be fine because the risk of HIV complication above 200 is still very low. Good luck with everything.
My CD4 count is 261 and I am starting treatment on Friday. Am I in danger wth ths CD4 count?
