Answer from similar question here seems to indicate no problem. If a reason is not known how can it indicate no problem? |

| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 You don't indicate what your CD4 and CD8 counts are, which make up the majority of CD3+ lymphocytes. I assume given your undetectable HIV viral load that you are on HIV treatment. People with HIV infection can have a significant elevation in their CD8 count as a reaction to HIV infection. Hence the increase in total CD3 count. | ||||||||
