Is it possible for someone to have a low CD4 count and an undectatable viral load?Also how can one boost his/ her CD count⚕️🎗
CD4 count refers to the number of a type of lymphocyte in the blood. Viral load refers to the number of viral (HIV) particles in blood. Both these parameters are important in management of HIV. Both these parameters have to be interpreted by your doctor keeping in mind your previous readings as well as your clinical profile.
CD4 count is variable from person to person. It can also vary in the same person on different days. The normal range of CD4 count that is mentioned on test reports refers to an average count that is seen in the population. A person may have a count higher or lower than this “normal range”. So what is normal CD4 count for one person may not be so for someone else. There is no way to boost your CD4 count. It is helpful to take your medication (ART) regularly, take any other medication prescribed to you regularly, eat well, exercise and try not to be exposed to other infections. These little precautions can help to maintain the CD4 count at an optimal level.
