A CD4+ count greater than 500 cells/F1F1F1S1F1F1F10L indicates that the patient's immune system is still functioning relatively well and they are not at increased risk for opportunistic infections such as toxoplasmosis or herpes zoster virus. Vaginal candidiasis is a common complication in patients with HIV, but not necessarily related to CD4+ count. Severe bacterial infection can occur at any CD4+ count, but is not necessarily the most likely complication for a patient with a CD4+ count greater than 500.
