T-cells (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

Special kind of white blood cells that are part of the immune system. They help kill germs in the body. Doctors can count a person's T-CELLS. Most healthy adults have about 1000 of them. If someone has HIV and a T-CELL count lower than 200 a doctor can tell the person they have AIDS. Counting T-CELLS is a way doctors try and measure how the immune system is working. T-CELLS can go up and down. They do not tell a person how they are feeling or when they will die. People can have a low number and still feel perfectly healthy.
