Brief Answer:
It depends on CD4 count.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Riturani,
Welcome to HCM.
The treatment for HIV depends on clinical stage of the disease and CD4 count of patient. If CD4 count is more than 500 then we can wait for 6 months to repeat the count for further management. For any further query feel free to ask me any time.
Thank You
