When the CD4+ T cell count drops below 200 cells per µL, a person is considered to have full-blown AIDS. However, if a person develops certain AIDS-related illnesses (pneumocystis pneumonia, toxoplasmosis of the brain, wasting, Kaposi sarcoma, or other viral induced cancers), he or she will still be considered to have full-blown AIDS, regardless of the CD4+ T cell count.
