So in the book I am reading, i stumble upon this sentence:
" If the pregnant woman has a high CD4 (350 or higher) and does not need antiretroviral medications for her own health, treatment with combination antiretrovirals should still be given to prevent perinatal transmission ....etc...."
I have put in bold and underlining what i find so weird: this previous sentence implies that if someone ot his CD4 above 350, then it means Anitretros are not needed and can be stopped!!!!!!!! this is wrong accordin to what I know, that even if you are asympto and your CD4 are copacetic, still you take Antretros!!!!!!
Can anyone shed some light on what the author intended?!?!?!?!??!!? Am i missing anything here?!?!?
