The objective of this study is to know the correlation between CD4 count cell and opportunistic infection among HIV/AIDS patients. The design of this research is analytical observational by using Cross Sectional approach . The data are taken restrospectively based on medical record of the patients in Mardi Waluyo Hospital in Blitar from March to July 2018. The diagnosis is done by ELISA laboratory Checking. The number of sampling are 48 patients which is got by purposeful sampling technique. From 48 subjects of the research, there are 16 men and 32 women. The result of this study reveals that CD4 count cell of HIV/AIDS patients is 165.27 cell/mm 3 in average. The lowest CD4 count cell is 25 cell/mm 3 and the highest of CD4 cell count is 450 sel/mm 3 . The patients of HIV/AIDS who get opportunistic infection is 68.8%, and those who have not opportunistic infection is 31.2%. The analysis using spearman-rho shows that there is correlation between CD4 count cell and opportunistic infection with p=0.00 with strong correlation (r=0.732). It is hoped that the result of this study can be a new literature, and can be discussed about add value of CD4 count cell in managing of HIV patients who get infection, so it can be managed opportunistic infection early.
