Sue, The cd4 count is the number of active t-cells in the blood. An Aids patient has a count similar to mine (123) and takes the same preventative meds. T-cells are more sophisticated than garden-variety white cell, that is they are immunilogically more sophisticated. WBC's can fight off a cold but RSV needs the t-cells.
YEA! Good Work!
