The CD4 cell count is a key measure of the health of the immune system. The lower the count, the greater damage HIV has done. Anyone who has less than 200 CD4 cells, or a CD4 percentage less than 14%, is considered to have AIDS according to the US Centers for Disease Control.

HBV has a reverse transcriptase. Tenofovir is a medication used to treat HBV (and HIV if it is not resistant).
