HIV care for children is a very specialised area and I\u2019m very sorry but i-Base are not specialists in this area. How your daughter is cared for will depend on which country you are in, which isn\u2019t mentioned in your message.<\/p>\n
Children are usually monitored using CD4% instead of CD4 counts. This is because children have much higher CD4 counts than adults and CD4% is a much more stable measure for children. World Health Organisation guidelines recommend starting treatment for a infant of your daughter\u2019s age when the CD4 is 750 or less, and the CD4% is 25% or below.<\/p>\n
Your daughter\u2019s viral load is also high enough to suggest she should start treatment, even if not taking her CD4 count into consideration.<\/p>\n
