Blood cell test for HIV treatment monitoring is cheaper but just as effective

There has been a more cost-effective method designed to for the diagnosis of IDS
, but it is more cheaper. the cheaper test looks at the abundance in the blood of human immune cells, known as CD4+ cells. The more expensive test samples the blood for viral load, or copies of viral genomes.This new test is now estimated to cost
174 dollars, while the other tests were around 5000. This can allow more money
spent on actually treating the disease.
