Whats the cause low cd8 counts in a hiv negative person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info....: Your question is too vague - remember, as doctors we do not just treat a number - we need clinical correlation. What symptoms were you having at the time.? What is the total WBC count? Lymphocyte count? Why were you tested in the first place? "low" is a percentage? Absolute number? A ratio to cd4? The additional info will get you a better answer...

I've had many HIV tests over the past few months(unprotected vaginal sex with confirmed HIV sexworker). All have been negative. Just had cd4 test and count was 612 and cd8 was 645. Isn't it bad when you have a ratio of below 1??? I'm freaking out!!!?
