Answer:

The fewer number of T cells a person has, the more chances to be affected by an opportunistic infection. When the number of T cells reaches 200 cells/µl, the person is at risk of being infected by other infections.  

Explanation:

The whole immune system of a person who is infected with HIV infection seems to be severely affected.  When the person is not treated or the disease is in a very advanced stage, the depletion of the T- cells turns to be very sharped, especially CD4+ T cells. At this point, the immune system can not resist the attack of other microorganisms. The <em>lower is the number of CD4+ T Cells, the higher possibility the person has to be attacked by opportunistic infections. </em>

Classically, it has been suggested that opportunistic infections appear after the CD4 + T lymphocytes reach very low levels, such as 200 cells/µl. The number of circulating T cells can be used as an indicator and a measure of global "immune competence", and the previously mentioned amount of CD4 + T cells is an accepted universal reference used to predict the risk of having one of these opportunistic infections.

Eating regular meals will: cause you to gain weight help you to establish healthy eating habits and keep you energized throughou
PolarNik [594]
Eating regular meals establishes healthy eating habits, keeps you energized throughout the day, and can cause you to lose weight. regular eating habits establish healthy eating habits because it's always good to eat regularly. One of the biggest misconceptions to losing weight fast and in a healthy manner is by not eating, that is false. If you eat regular meals you can lose weight perfectly fine. The more calories you eat the more you lose, now i'm not saying eat a million and one candy bars, i'm saying if you eat food that is healthy can get you to lose weight. That also doesn't mean live off of carrots and strawberries for a week! You have to eat normally. So a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, pasta, rice or any kind of meat is the way to lose weight vs eating low calorie anything or a candy bar. Every type of food gives you energy! It all depends what it is too predict how much energy you'll receive or how long it will last. For instance, a candy bar will give you a lot of energy, fast but won't last as long as eating pasta or rice for energy. Eating regular meals does cause you to gain weight but thats a good thing, it gives you energy, muscle and can help you lose weight. Eating regular  meals actually does the opposite of causing you to be hungry more often, it keeps you fuller for longer.
