Classify Jonas Hiv status according to WHO clinical staging criteria, Substantiate your answer with evidence from scenario

Substantiation with evidence from the scenario:

• His CD4 count is 150 cells/mm³, which is below the 200 cells/mm³ threshold for Stage 4.
• He is diagnosed with Pulmonary TB, which is a Stage 3 defining illness, but in the context of a CD4 count below 200 cells/mm³, it signifies advanced disease, often considered Stage 4.
• He has significant weight loss (65kg to 59kg), and his clothes no longer fit, indicating severe weight loss or HIV wasting syndrome, which is a Stage 3 or 4 criterion.
• He has thrush on the foreskin and head of his penis (candidal balanitis), and is diagnosed with Balanitis. While oral candidiasis is a Stage 3 condition, extensive or recurrent mucocutaneous candidiasis can indicate advanced immunosuppression.
