 Hello and thanks for posting. Overall, your labs suggest that you have a pretty healthy immune system and very good control of the virus (with a very low HIV plasma viral load-PVL). While your total (or absolute) CD4 count is high, your CD4 percentage is below normal- if confirmed, this suggests to me that there is some degree of immune suppression. Like all of my patients who are recently diagnosed, I would tell you that you should live a normal life, with excellent quality of life. You should spend this time in learning about your health (and virus) and identifying a medical care provider who is both expert in HIV issues and whom you can develop a trusting, non-judgmental relationship. I hope that helps. Please write back anytime. BY | ||||||||
