Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A diagnosis of AIDS requires that the person be HIV positive and have either a CD4+ T-cell count of less than 200 cells/mm³ or less than 14% (even if the total CD4+ count is above 200 cells/mm³)or an opportunistic infection such as Pneumocystis jiroveci and HIV wasting syndrome.Having a positive ELISA test and taking antiretroviral medications are not AIDS-defining characteristics.
