FYI

We're talking about the fast-growing HIV cases at work lately.Admittedly,my neurons were somehow dysfunctional after I took the boards.hehe!Blaming it to my lab routines.It kills!:))
There's this test CD4 count,the usual test related to HIV case.Since it seems that i had an amnesia,I can't correlate CD4 cells to HIV.So,as soon as i get into my room, googled it and here's a very simple rationale from the web:

Question: What is a CD4 Count and Why is it Important?

*Most trips to your HIV specialist will include a CD4 count along with your other labs. Your CD4 count or T-cell count as it is sometimes called gives your doctor a look at your immune system. What is your CD4 count and why is it important?

Answer: Your immune system contains different types of cells that help protect the body from infection. One of these types of specialized cells are called the CD4 or T-cells. HIV attacks these types of cells and uses them to make more copies of HIV. And in doing so, HIV weakens the immune system, making it unable to protect the body from illness and infection

There you go!Questions answered.In fairness,the web is such a great help. :))
