How Many Years Can A Man With HIV CD4 Count 450 Live And Have Normal Life ?

Hello Doctor,

Just 1 month before I meet to a man who is HIV+

His age is 34. CD4 count is 450.

I want to marry him. I know there is lots of risk.

Just want to know, for how many years he can live?

What can I do, so he can live normal life for long time?

Hi, till date his cd4 count is quite good. Life expectancy depends on many factors. His immune system. , viral load, infection etc. But overall if he takes regular anti retro viral treatment then chances are great. Many persons have normal life expectancy with hiv also. You just need to do is use safe sex practice and regularly go for cd4 count and take treatment accordingly.

Hi, it totally depends on his immune status viral load and chances of infection. Still cd4 count is more than 400 is a good sign. But from that we cant say anything. So think twice before taking decision.
