 The current recommedations are that treatment should be started when the CD4 count is < 350 and/or the viral load is > 50,000. Your CD4 count is fine, but your viral load is a little higher than I would like to see it. I would probably recommend not starting yet and getting a few more points on the line. If the viral load is staying at that level and the CD4 count and percentage are starting to slip, then I would consider treatment sooner rather than later. | ||||||||
