Nevertheless all studies show that the lower the CD4+ count, the poorer the quality of life 30,40 . It is within reason to think that patients with low CD4+ counts experience a negative effect on their quality of life because they are more prone to disease symptoms, opportunistic infections and are likely to use more medication 26,30 .…”

“…A redução mais acentuada nos estados das regiões Sul e Sudeste, bem como os índices de sobrevivência pós-diagnóstico nessas regiões é discrepante do resto do país.
