Report This | Share this:Is my immune system weak?Sorry to post again, but I'm just really curious about the immune system and how it functions: I do have a tough time in the fall with seasonal allergies such as to ragweed & mold, and it's around this time that I have inflammed and/or irritated nasal passages.'m curious about my immune system. I seem to catch colds too often (4 per year ave.), and the symptoms are very intense (headaches, runny nose, congestion, cough, fatigue). However, I never have symptoms that linger more than 2 days.
If you have HIV and do not take HIV medicines, eventually - typically, over a number of years - your viral load increases and the number of CD4 T cells decreases significantly. Your immune system becomes very weak. This means that you are open to getting infections and your body is unable to fight the infection.
