Quickly declining CD4 count, fairly low viral load Mar 6, 2006 I just found out I was HIV positive in January. My last test was exactly 6 months prior to that and was negative. My counts are: CD4-248, and viral load-46,000. If I am newly infected why is my Tcell count so low? Does this indicate how quick my disease will progress? |

 After infection, the CD4 cell count can decline for a few weeks to even months and then rebound. I suspect your CD4 counts will rise soon given your viral load is not extremely high. DW | ||||||||
