In which client report would an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) diagnosis be indicated?

An acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) diagnosis is defined primarily by specific clinical criteria and laboratory findings, particularly the CD4+ T-cell count. For a diagnosis of AIDS, a CD4+ T-cell count of less than 200 cells/mm³ is decisive, in conjunction with being HIV positive.

In the correct scenario, the reported CD4+ T-cell count is 200 cells/mm³ and the individual is confirmed to be HIV positive. This level of CD4+ T-cells indicates significant immune compromise, which aligns with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for diagnosing AIDS. Individuals with CD4+ counts below this threshold are at increased risk for opportunistic infections and other complications related to HIV.

The other options present higher CD4+ counts, which, while indicating that the individual is HIV positive, do not meet the criteria for an AIDS diagnosis. A person with a CD4+ count above 200 cells/mm³, regardless of their HIV status, would typically be considered to have a less advanced stage of HIV infection, unless they exhibit certain opportunistic infections or conditions defined in the clinical criteria for AIDS.
