Benefits
CD4 is an important test in the care and management of people living with HIV:
- To assess disease progression
- Prioritise patients at risk of opportunistic infections
- Where Treat All is not a realistic option
- In patients with a CD4 count of less than 350 cells per μL
Typically, CD4 testing is carried out in a laboratory, however, for people in resource-limited and rural settings, it can be inaccessible. Convenient but effective point-of-care diagnostic tests can support the care of people living with HIV by providing actionable information. VISITECT® CD4 is a rapid, instrument-free, disposable, point-of-care test for CD4 in people living with HIV.
