 That is probably not a real or significant change. Another number you want to follow is the CD4 percent, which is a more stable number over time. If the CD4% remained the same, there is likely no concern. There is no urgency to start HIV meds at this point. You need a couple more sets of labs to see what the trend is. | |||||||||
