CD4 Count -Pathway B in Practice

 

“The point of care CD4 provides a result in 20 minutes, is highly correlated with the laboratory CD4 tests and performed very well in identifying individuals requiring antiretroviral therapy.  It was highly acceptable among those tested, may facilitate service delivery in a variety of patient-centred settings/times and offers rapid assessment of the newly diagnosed HIV patient.”
