When to start treatment Mar 11, 2007 I was diagnosed HIV + two months ago and although I am scheduled to see an Infection Specialist next week I was wonder what levels of CD4 and viral load levels do typical hiv + patients start treatment. My CD4 count is 516 and my viral load is 19,600. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. |

 If on repeat those numbers are relatively the same, you don't need treatment at this time. Most HIV practitioners agree that if the CD4 is < 350, or if > 350, the viral load is > 100,000, then HIV treatment should be started. | ||||||||
