cd4 cells syphilis and HIV May 21, 2007 I've had hiv for 20+ years, and my cd4 cells have been good for 12 years (about 600+) I had one low count of 99 12 years ago after my partner died, but I've been ok until recently, I just got a +ve syphilis result and 300 cd4 count. I am being treated for syphilis, what is the likelihood that my cd4 count will recover? |

 If your CD4 count has been maintained in the 600s all along and you just got one value at 300, it is likely that this is either temporary as a result of syphilis or a lab error. Given you have now been treated, I would predict your counts will be back up on the next test. | ||||||||
