| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 I am not sure in what context you are asking this question. This phenomenon can occur after acute infection or when people start HIV treatment. It relates to the reduction in viral replication and therefore the possibility of more cells becoming infected and dying is reduced so the number of cells goes up. | ||||||||
