This test is for you if

Description

The CD4 Count Only test measures the number of CD4 T-lymphocytes in the blood, which are key cells involved in immune system function.

CD4 levels are commonly used to assess immune status in individuals living with HIV and to guide clinical management decisions. A lower CD4 count may indicate weakened immunity, while increasing or stable levels suggest effective treatment or recovery of immune function. This test is typically used for ongoing monitoring rather than diagnosis.

FAQs

No, there is currently no medication or treatment that can eliminate HPV from the body once it is present. However, most HPV infections are cleared by the immune system within 2 years. If HPV causes complications, then genital wart treatment and cervical cell changes can be treated.

HPV is typically spread through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity like vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can also be passed on during prolonged intimate skin-to-skin contact that does not include penetrative sex. It may also be passed on from mother to baby during childbirth.

HPV infections often have no symptoms. If people do get symptoms, they can include:

  • lumps, legions, or warts around the infected area

  • itching or pain around the infected area

  • unusual bleeding or foul-smelling vaginal discharge

Most people who are infected do not realise they are, and often do not experience any issues. This is why it is important to get tested for HPV regularly.

For early detection and prevention. HPV doesn’t usually cause any symptoms, and some high-risk strains can also increase your chances of developing some types of cancer.
