A member asked:

What disorders produce low cd4 antigen and high cd8?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A classic: Hi. A classic for that profile would be HIV. If you are at risk, I'm sure your doctor has thought of that. Why was the CD4/CD8 profile ordered? Have you had any opportunistic infections? If HIV negative, I suspect your doc may refer you to an infectious disease specialist. Good luck!
