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.
