Reduction of HIV activity leads to adjustment immune cells number (CD4-lymphocytes). Indications to the beginning of anti virus therapy are either the presence of clinical symptoms of disease, confirming about the lack of immune system, or the reduction of CD4- lymphocytes number less than 350 cells in 1 ml of blood.
