 It is also important to know a couple of other numbers, what your CD4% is, and what your viral load results are. A normal CD4 count is between 500-1500 and a normal CD4% is between 30-50%. Your current CD4 count is just below the normal range. Many experts would suggest starting HIV treatment now (certainly if your viral load is > 100,000), but others might consider waiting if the CD4% is normal and your viral load is low (e.g. < 1000). | ||||||||
