How long infected? May 20, 2002 I hate to sound like question on an exam, but here it goes. Two people are diagnosed at the same time. One is found to have a viral load of 17K and a T-cell count of 195, the other has a viral load of 5.5k, with T-cells at 350. Whom would you say has been infected longer and for approximately how long? Thank you for your insight and work that you do here. |

 Can't necessarily say. It depends on what kind of virus was transmitted and what the person's underlying immune system is and what their starting CD4 count was before they were infected. | ||||||||
