Your CD4 count is a marker of the strength of your immune system. Many immune related diseases can cause your CD4 count to drop, as can medications that are designed to suppress your immune system.

What does the viral load and CD4 count indicate?
The viral load is a measure of how much HIV is present in the blood. A high viral load count would indicate the person has many copies of the virus in their body. The CD4 count, on the other hand, indicates how many CD4 or T-helper cells the person has. CD4 cells are part of the immune system. When they are destroyed, their numbers drop. This is what the HIV virus does--it destroys CD4 cells. Therefore, if a person has a low CD4 count, that means that their immune system is not functioning well, if at all.
