A normal cd4 count ranges from 500? 1, 200 cells/mm3 in adults/adolescents. Hiv medicine is recommended for everyone with hiv, but the urgency to start hiv medicine is greater in people with low or rapidly falling cd4 counts. When the amount of hiv in your blood is lowered by art (hiv medication), it allows the cd4 cells to reproduce and increase in number. The higher your cd4 count, the better able you are to fight hiv and other infections.
