CD4 count measures the number of CD4 cells in a cubic millimeter of blood.

Dr Mathai added: Normal values for CD4 cells are 500-1200 cells/mm3.
"Co-infections and HIV beget each other": Dr Dilip Mathai
The study estimates that six months after infection, the CD4 cell count of a person infected with HIV in 2010 was likely to stabilise at a level approximately 150 cells below that of a person infected in the early 1980s.
Virulence of HIV has increased since first reports of AIDS
Shortly after the HIV epidemic became established, it was a strongly held view that the only thing that mattered for understanding HIV pathogenicity was a falling CD4 cell count, as it was this that led to the opportunistic infections and ultimately to death.
SILCAAT and ESPRIT: taking stock
Though the exact action of IND- 02 is not clear, the molecule prevents replication of HIV by protecting a crucial defence protein called APOBEC3G ( apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide- like 3G), produced by CD4 cells.
Cinnamon gives the zing to counter- HIV measures
A treatment strategy that includes interruptions in antiretroviral therapy (ART) guided by patients' CD4 cell counts was deemed detrimental in 2006 by investigators in the Strategies for Management of Antiretroviral Therapies (SMART) trial.
Interrupted HIV treatment has persistent risks
With an active viral replication, the rate of CD4 cells destruction might outweigh the rate of production of newer cells.

The risk of infant death was reduced the higher the maternal CD4 cell count.
Low CD4 count in mothers means greater risk for HIV-negative babies
The number of CD4 cells in a blood sample indicates the health of the immune system.

Preclinical studies showed the feasibility of the approach in normal CD4 cells and in CD4 cells taken from 20 early- and late-stage patients.
Reengineered T cells may block spread of HIV
A better understanding of this problem may allow scientists to find a way to enable HIV-specific CD4 cells to do their job in controlling this virus, as CD4 cells do with other viruses.
HIV treatment and immunology research: current ideas
The AIDS virus works by hijacking immune cells called CD4 cells, which disrupts the immune system in most people.
