The count only relates to the number of CD4 cells in a cubic millimetre of blood, not in your whole body.

In the context of HIV, without access to treatment, the CD4 count slowly drops, eventually to zero.

Some people who only start HIV treatment very late have a CD4 count of zero. By they this time would usually be ill with serious other infections.

Even starting this late you can get a excellent response to treatment, and be back to healthy life.
