Nntp-Posting-Host: squid.cs.ucla.edu Archive-Number: 3009 I have been wanting to ask this question for many months. Many studies require t4 counts above 400 or a similar number. My blood reports from National Health Labs indicates a NORMAL t4 count range to be 400-1500. Since I got AIDS (PCP) my t4 count has never been higher than 97 and is probably non-existant by now. Can someone please explain to me what the hell good are trials for people who DO NOT HAVE AIDS since their t4 counts preclude that diagnosis? Have we who are t4 celless just been written off?
