Abstract
The correlation of values of CD4 Count, platelet, PT, APTT, fibrinogen and factor viii was carried out. One hundred and sixty four subjects were sampled, comprising one hundred and fourteen HIV positive subjects and fifty HIV negative subjects which served as the control. PT, APTT, Fibrinogen, Factor VIII, Platelet and CD4 count were analyzed using standard techniques. The results showed that HIV positive subjects had a significantly lower CD4 count (360.00±107.09) and Platelet count (157 ± 98.40) when compared with the HIV negative subjects (940 ± 220.05) and (228 ± 62.04) respectively. Also PT and APTT were significantly higher (P 0.05) in fibrinogen and factor viii concentration between the HIV Positive subjects and the HIV negative subjects. Among the HIV positive subjects, platelet count did not differ significantly (p> 0.05) between those with CD4 count 0.01).
