Monitoring immune health

Most of us wait until a disease shows up before doing anything about it—"if it ain't broke, don't fix it." In HIV disease, the immune system starts to "break" immediately, not just when opportunistic infections show up. Thus, monitoring the health of the immune system is critically important. There are two common approaches for doing this: (1) Symptom Observation and (2) Lab Tests. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
