Best Answer

In the context of HIV, this depends on your current health and the guidelines in your country.

In the UK, unless there are ongoing medical concerns, guidelines recommend routine monitoring every 3-4 months.

After diagnosis, you usually need two CD4 counts within the first month or two to see how much HIV has damaged your immune system.

In people stable on treatment, with a high CD4 count (over 350) some clinics now think CD4 counts can be safely monitored once or twice a year.
