A patient with HIV has a CD4 count of 300 cells/mm³ and an HbA1c of 9%. What is the primary finding?

HbA1c ÔëÑ 6.5% confirms diabetes; ÔëÑ 9% is markedly uncontrolled and associated with significant microvascular risk. A CD4 of 300 cells/mm³ indicates moderate HIV-related immunosuppression but does not by itself signal AIDS (AIDS < 200). Viral suppression is defined by viral load < 200 copies/mL, not by CD4 count.5. Ethics & Professionalism
