A member asked:

If someone has 800 cd4 count and is hiv positive, is that possible?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Hiv: Very few people with HIV can get the virus and their immune system can keep it under check, or she may be under treatment.

No surprise: Cd4 count drops off as untreated HIV infection progresses. These are the lymphocytes that are infected and destroyed by the virus; ultimately their loss causes the immunodeficiency. I hope that if this person's account is accurate, that she is able to get treated for this serious infection.
