Undetectable But CD4 Still Dropping

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I started my meds while I was still seroconverting and was told I would probably have a smaller Hiv reservoir and do better than others. My CD4 at diagnosis was over 900. 90 days later 500 and now 9 months later 415. I have been undetectable the whole time. Has anyone else been undetectable and have the same thing happen?

I was probably poz for years and when i finally got the nerve in 1994 to get tested, my T cells were under 250. So statiscially since that time i have aids , even tho my t cells have gone up to 500 at times but they usually remain in the 350 range. Once you have aids statically that diagnosis never goes away even tho you’re undectable.
