Its great to hear that you are on treatment and that your doctor is supportive. Other than your concern about your CD4 count, how you are doing?<\/p>\n<p>CD4 counts can change without it meaning something is wrong. This is normal. There are also sometimes trouble with the CD4 test. This means your next CD4 count could easily be higher without doing anything.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK the doctor would check this though with another CD4 test. When is your docotr next going to do this?<\/p>\n<p>This link has more info about CD4 and viral load:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/starting\">https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/starting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing when beginning treatment is to not miss doses.
