What Are Some Symptoms Of Hiv?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    I was diagnosed in 2004 with HIV. I had no idea I had contracted the virus because I never felt sick, got the flu, or had any obvious problems. I have no idea when I contracted it. And now 5 years later there still are no physical signs of my condition. I still very rarely catch a cold and my status is still HIV+. As a matter of fact my t cell count & viral load are better today then they were 5 years ago. The T cell count is your white blood cell count, which is what the virus attacks, and the viral load count is the amount of the HIV infection in your blood.Once a persons T cell count gets down to 350 that's when they prescribe medication,( cocktail), and once a persons T cell count gets below 200 that's when it the diagnoses changes from HIV to AIDS. My T cell count is 979 & my viral load is only 8,000! That's without any medication.
