Systematic compilation begins with search databases on Google Scholar, PHPJ, PubMed. the method is based on a prismatic systematic guideline and is systematically reviewed. Discussion: The results of this study indicate that the more progressive the HIV infection in a person's body, the lower his CD4 level will be. A decrease in CD4 levels will be followed by a decrease in the number of lymphocytes, the ratio of lymphocytes to leukocytes, and the ratio of lymphocytes to neutrophils. This shows that the immune system of people infected with HIV is decreasing. Conclusion: The more severe the condition of people with HIV infection, the lower the CD4 count.
