If you have h i v for 12 years and not on meds can your cd count rise?

Not likely: The natural history of untreated HIV is fairly predictable. Most people by year 12 have met their demise. In that, you have beat the odds! I'm curious as to what sort of medical follow-up you've had. And also curious why you have not taken ART (active retro viral therapy). No doubt, like any other rule there are always exceptions.
