In this paper, we discuss the reasons why we urgently need a point-of-care (POC) CD4 test, elaborate the problems we have experienced with the current technology which hampers CD4-count coverage and highlight the ideal characteristics of a universal CD4 POC test. It is high-time that CD4 technology is simplified and adapted for wider use in low-income countries to change the current paradigm of restricted access once and for all.
在本文中，我们讨论了为什么我们迫切需要一个即时护理（POC）CD4 检测，详细阐述了目前阻碍 CD4 计数覆盖的技术所带来的问题，并强调了通用 POC CD4 检测的理想特征。现在是时候简化 CD4 技术并将其应用于低收入国家以扩大使用范围，从而彻底改变目前这种受限的获取模式。
