Another goal of HIV treatment is to maintain and improve T cell count. T helper cells, also known as CD4 T cells, are white blood cells that help to organize the immune system. A person with HIV infection gradually develops lower T cell counts over time as the immune system weakens, so it is important to get treatment as quickly as possible.
