The CD4/CD8 ratio is an important marker in HIV management. It helps assess the balance between helper T cells (CD4) and suppressor T cells (CD8). A normal CD4 count ranges between 500 and 1,500 cells per cubic millimeter.

- Importance:
- Indicates immune system health.
- Helps monitor HIV progression and treatment effectiveness.

- Returning to Normal:
- With effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), CD4 counts can increase over time, improving the CD4/CD8 ratio.
- Regular monitoring and adherence to ART are crucial for achieving and maintaining healthier immune function.

Yeah, and I was told concerning the CD8 cells. Let’s you know how many of your cells are doing the actual fighting 🤺🥷🤺for example you have 50 cells and you get your test results back and it says 46 😊then that would indicate 46 of your cells are working/fighting out of 50 😍which is really really good.😊 I love these questions keep asking because information is power.💥💥💥 The more questions 🥰you ask the more information you will receive 🤗and the more power you will gain. 🫂Love you all.🥰
