Filters Content type: News, Editors' picks, About HIV Topic: Low CD4 count

A low CD4 count indicates that HIV has damaged a person’s immune system to such an extent that they are at risk of serious illnesses. If you have a low CD4 count, HIV treatment is essential. Until the immune system recovers, it is also necessary to take antibiotics as prophylaxis to prevent opportunistic infections.
