| Response from Dr. Hightow-Weidman
 Hello there- I would recommend starting ARV therapy. I think there is sufficient data to recommend ARV therapy for people with CD4 counts less than 500. CD4 counts can vary day to day and so seeing one value go up would not change my recommendations. While taking vitamins is great, it will not effect your CD4 count in the long run and ARV is the way to go. Take care, LHW | ||||||||
