cd4/cd8 ratio
What is a normal cd4/cd8 ratio? Mine is 5.2. Is that high? I am asking because I recently thought I had a exposure to hiv. But I have tested negative out to 5 months.
Be strong ! Thats my nickname here and this is my advice to you.
As Nelson Mandela once said : " I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
You dont have an hiv issue , that's for sure.
Try to keep calm. Life is tough but beautiful too..:)

Oh I definitely have anxiety over this. My doctors have put me through a lot. It all started when I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my thighs & arms. Then my white count went up to 19,000 so they thought I had leukemia. They tested me and said I don't have leukemia. But they don't know why my wbc is up. Then they started a battery of tests because I have neuropathy. The only red flag they saw was my vit d was really low. So pic this you already think maybe I have hiv, then they tell u its possible u have leukemia. It's been a long 5 months. I do believe stress plays a role in my body's make up. I keep telli.g.myself what Teak said " you had no hiv exposure" that seems to help me. I feel that I have done everything I can do to rule out hiv. Honestly the odds must be 0% if we all tested negative .
I think that you have an anxiety issue here. Please try to control your fears. You are HIV negative :)
You do not have an HIV concern. CD4/8 percentages changes constantly throughout the day. Your negative test result rules out HIV.
I was just curious if my numbers were low, normal, or high. The more facts I have to prove I don't have hiv the easier it is for me to cope . You guys can probably already tell that by last post , since everyone got tested I'm kind of ocd about this.
Your negative result 5 months after your last exposure prove that you are hiv negative . Stay safe :)
