Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Generally, after how many years, the cd4:cd8 ratio get inverted in HIV-2 without treatment?
Kindly enlighten.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
CD4:CD8 ratio without treatment for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) depends on how strong your immune system is. If your immune system remains too strong, it remains unchanged.
Once the immune system gets deranged, it shows HIV positive, and symptoms start appearing. So, there is no fixed time or years for this ratio to get altered. You can also calculate I, E, and CD4 by dividing them by CD8.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and take care.
