Question

I know I have been positive less than a year but I fell ill recently.

I’ve just tested positive and I know I have been positive less than a year but I fell ill recently. The pain and fever has gone I eat yet I’m losing weight I think maybe it’s TB I’m eating but no improvement.

Answer

Hello,

Thank-you for getting in touch.

If you are feeling ill, or losing weight without trying to, it is important to speak to your doctor. These symptoms may be related to HIV, or to something else. It’s important to tell your doctor how you are feeling so that they can find the cause.

    1. Regular masturbation has no effect on your CD4 count.
    2. The only way to increase your CD4 count is to start treatment. You may be able to help your CD4 count by eating healthily, exercising and avoiding stress. But your CD4 will gradually decrease over time.
    3. This is unlikely to be related to HIV, because your CD4 is still strong. But any symptom should be discussed with a doctor to establish the cause.

  2. HIV
