Even though the it is quite difficult, I have to tell you that there are many people who have started their HIV treatment with CD4 counts under 10 cells\/mm3 and the treatment has worked for them. Some of my colleagues here, are in fact an example for that.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that she gets access to treatment quickly and starts HIV drugs while being looked after by a doctor with experience of HIV. Sometimes starting with a very low CD4 count can lead to new infections in the first few months.<\/p>\n<p>Both the mother and daughter should start treatment and also use prophylaxis treatment which will protect them from other infections until their CD4 count is higher.<\/p>\n<p>I would suggest you contact the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa immediately for advice on what you need to do.
