Is exercise dangerous if my T-cells are low? Apr 3, 2008 I was diagnosed on 2/3 this year. Two weeks later I started taking atripla. Im improving, my doc says, but my T-cells are still low -- 189. Ive always been an exercise junkie but I'm worried I'll somehow hurt my health by jumping back on that wagon. Is it safe for me to go back to weight lifting and running or should I wait for my T-cells to go up more? |

 It is safe to work out after starting HIV meds as long as you do not overtrain. Exercising too much or too heavy can de detrimental to health. Three to four times a week, 30 min of cardio plus 45 min to an hour of weights and machines should suffice to keep you healthy and lean. | |||||||||
