 Hello and thanks for your post, Yes, CD4 counts do vary with time of day and other health-related conditions. The essential point is that significant decreases in CD4 (for whatever reason) are measures of having immune suppression. Any (that is, detectable) plasma HIV viral load is indicative of HIV infection (and positive antibody test). BY | ||||||||
