Summary: Testing

No single test gives a total picture of immune health or disease progression, but CD4+ cell testing and viral load taken together are very important. As we learn to manage HIV as a chronic illness, these tests provide rational guidance about what treatments to use, when and when not to use them, and how well they are working.
