Hi, how are you? It\u2019s great how quickly your medication has worked.<\/p>\n
In the UK, Bactrim is recommended for people who have a CD4 count less than 350. At this point you remain on the border. Talking to a doctor will help discuss your management and if it still remains suitable to take. Bactrim is a prophylactic antibiotic used as a precaution to prevent opportunistic infections.<\/p>\n
ALT levels and creatinine will be stable. They are given as ranges for normal limits. Falling within side of these, even if raised from a previous test is not a cause for concern. There is no indication that your medication is impacting your liver or kidneys unless you experiencing other symptoms.<\/p>\n
A raise in lymphocyte levels can be caused by a number of things. Please ask your doctor to explain these to you.<\/p>\n
If you have any further queries do get in touch,<\/p>\n

Hello. 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with HIV and now, after medication I am undetectable with a CD4 count of 347. I am taking Biktarvy (ARV) and Bactrim. When can I stop taking Bactrim? My recent blood test, after 6 weeks of treatment shows that my creatinine and ALT levels have raised but are still within a normal range. Is it a sign that the treatment is attacking my liver and kidneys? My total lymphocyte count was higher than normal too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,9,10,29,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-cd4-and-viral-load","category-changing-treatment","category-opportunistic-infections","category-side-effects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18717\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
