Your CD4 count is NORMAL!!!!  It doesn't matter that it dropped, it's STILL within the range of NORMAL....

A normal CD4 count is from 500 to 1,500 cells per cubic millimeter of blood.

You really need to get a grip.....HIV is not a concern.  You're driving yourself crazy!

Oh my!!!!  That is some SERIOUS over testing!

Your + tuberculin test means nothing in relation to HIV...you clearly don't have HIV.  It would be biologically impossible for you to have HIV with all of those negative tests.

A + tuberculin test is often insignificant.  It can mean that you were around someone with TB at some point, and were exposed, but it doesn't mean you HAVE TB.  Talk with your doctor for more info if you're concerned.

HIV is definitely NOT something that should be anywhere on your list.  It seems you're having a VERY hard time accepting that.  If that's the case, get yourself some help.

Hi There,

That is not my area I am afraid but I can 110% reassure you that it is not HIV, - please don't test again, there is no need, - HIV is certainly not causing you these issues.

All the best!
