Complete Blood Count

Hey


I just had a Complete body count test today after 5 months of possible exposure to HIV (vaginal sex with no protection) The doctor told me everything was normal and there is nothing to worry about, white blood cells were normal

So does this tell me that I didnt get HIV??? like is it enough for me to calm down and be sure that I'm ok ?
not to forget that my last exposure was 5 months ago !   is it enough time?

Thanx

ONLY A TEST DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR DIAGNOSING HIV WILL TELL YOUR STATUS.

NO...a cbc does not diagnose hiv...only a test designed for hiv will tell your status.
