Indications for Initiating Antiretroviral Therapy in Resource-Limited Settings

You answered:

	Antiretroviral therapy is indicated because she has WHO Clinical Stage 3 disease.

This answer is incorrect. This patient's WHO Clinical Stage is 2, based on her history of papular pruritic eruption and seborrheic dermatitis.

	Antiretroviral therapy is indicated because her CD4 count is less than 350 cells/mm3
	Antiretroviral therapy is not indicated at this time unless she progresses to WHO Stage 4 disease.
	Further laboratory testing is required in order to determine whether or not she should be started on antiretroviral therapy.
