A member asked:
In how many years generally does cd4:cd8 ratio gets inverted that is becomes less than 1 in hiv-2 ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV-2 infection time: The loss of CD4 cells and the rise of CD8 cells to the point of inverting the ratio to less than 1, after seroconversion, is highly variable. But an approximate guideline is 6 months out or later, depending on a wide variety of host factors.

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!!!?
