 The survival time for people with AIDS is widely variable. If your sister is hospitalized often and has a CD4 count less than 50 then the situation is clearly serious. I would suggest offering to go with her to one of her MD/clinic visits to find out directly what her prognosis is and what you could do to help. KH | ||||||||
