This is extremely low and things are looking grim, but all things are possible. What needs to be done is to bolster whats left of the immune system best you can. Find an herbalist (a chinese practioner would be best) ask for reishi mushroom, this has been known to dramatically increase the number of t-cells in the human body while having some anti-viral properties, als oadd a garlic supplement to boost the immune systems ability to fight bacterial infection. Additionally start using cummin oil in all your cooking, this oils has been shown to be extremely effective at inhibiting all viruses espeacially hiv. Add a lot of blueberries and other high anti-oxident foods to the diet to help prevent cancers from forming (the immune system is partially responsible for preventing and destroying cancer cells.) One last thing is try to increase the amount of oxygen in the air and in his bloodstream, hiv along with other microbials aren't able to handle a high oxygenated environment. Hope this helps.

First of all I am sorry.
It all depends on what stage of HIV he is in. See at the beginning of the syndrome, there is a phase at which your t-cells are obliterated by the virus. Because you don't have any t-cells you can't fight any diseases. So you get very sick with pneumonia, flu, any disease that is aerial. (those are the easiest to get but you can get something else). If he is at this stage (the beginning) it is very likely that he will survive it. The body tends to all the sudden over compensate for the loss of t-cells. And also the doctors will give him anti-retroviral therapy (most likely: the cocktail). The therapy will be a shock for the virus and almost kill all of them. (but not all of the viruses {there is no cure for HIV or AIDS}) Because of the therapy and the body's response he will recuperate, it is very likely that he WILL survive.
If he has been taking therapy for many years and he is all the sudden this low on T-cells it can be bad news. BUT Some HIV patients end up going to the hospital quite a few times over many years. It could mean that the doctors just need to change the drugs in his therapy. I mean if he is this low on t-cells the therapy is not working anymore....obviously.
With HIV nothing is definite. So the fact that he only has 11 T-cells does not mean that he will DEFINITELY die now. I knew an acquaintence to only have a T cell count of 2! AND HE recuperated.
I am so sorry. Hang in there. Good luck.

Hun You have only half the equation for you all so need the viro load and the full blood work including his white cell count to tell if the virus has advanced stage also a Geno test needs to be done to find what can combat it!!

May patients with AIDS get to the brink because of an infection and with aggressive treatment are brought back to fight another day. His chances depend on opportunistic infections - which ones he has and what treatment options are available. Eventually he will likely succumb to this illness - but the fight may not be over yet.

That would be very unlikely.
At 11, you are at risk for every major bacteria that can kill a person with AIDS.
Unless they can get his T-Cells back up, even a cold can kill him at this point.
If he goes in to isolation until they can get his cells back up, then maybe he has a chance.
It's a horrible disease... and medications have come a long way.

I really have no knowledge of this, I'm sorry but I know they have anti-viral meds that slow the process down. I'm not sure if it is too late for him to take them though. Did the doctor who diagnosed him not tell him anything or refer him to anyone? Make sure you go to an good STD specialist to get him the best care possible. I'm so sorry for what you are having to go through.

I doubt it. Hes lucky to be alive, now.
Have him go get massages. Make sure the DR says its safe, first. Massage builds up T Cells.
