 I would have expected your CD4 cells to have risen by now. However, I would be more interested in whether there were any true changes in your CD4 percentage. This would be more clearly reflective of what is happening with your immune system. Ask your doctor to review those numbers - before and after treatment - with you. | |||||||||
