The nurse at the office said my T-cell count should be high and my viral load should be low. What does that mean?
Your T-cells are the good cells that fight infection in your body. Viruses are bad cells. So, you don’t want to have a lot of virus floating around in your blood, but you want a lot of good cells to fight off any virus that get into your body. The higher your T-cell count, the more good cells you have. The lower the viral load is, the fewer viruses you have in your blood.
