What does CD4 count mean?

I have heard people at the clinic talking about CD4 count, but what does that mean?

How do I know when I have AIDS and not HIV?

I am HIV positive and have been quite sick recently. How do I know when my HIV has become AIDS?

When should I start taking ARV’s?

At what level should my CD4 count be at before I start ARVs?

Will my doctor help me with my ARV treatment?

I was receiving my ARV treatment at my nearest clinic, but now I am on a medical aid, so I’m supposed to be treated by my doctor. However, the clinic staff doesn’t want me to be treated by my doctor, as they say that I will die. They say that the doctors don’t care about us, they only care about money. Is this true, because am confused and scared now?
