differentia blood test and donor blood

differentia blood test and donor blood

During primary hiv,does a cbc with differential shows abnormalities? I know that this kind off test dos not detect hiv infection, but as well as I know during primary hiv t cells of the lymphocytes decrease from 1200 cells/mm3 to 500 mm/3 and never increase to baseline as before. I had a cbc with differential , it was a manual count, and i took this results:

8800 wbc
32% are lymphocytes that means 2816 of wbc are lymphocytes.this mean that half of 2816 are T cells

so if primary hiv decrease T cells that are components of lymphocytes, should lymphocytes be decreased too?

1-Based in these facts can I peace up my mind?
2-if I want to donor blood, will this blood be safe to other people?

thank you very much

Only an HIV test will tell you if you have HIV.

but why Teak, another member of the forum told to me that I do not have HIV concern,
if so why differential blood is permormed to monitor HIV? becouse T-cells  does not never goes to the baseline, based in my differential blood test my leucocytes where 2816 , this mean that about half are T-cells, I did this test about 3 weeks post expoasure ,
During this period(3 weeks post expoasrure risk) and if a person is infected T-cells are very low 500 cells/mm3
if T-cells are low as 500 cells/mm3 how is possbible to have a very normal count of lymphocytes, becouse as well as we know T-cells are subgroups of lymphocytes?

If you have been told that you don't have an HIV concern then you don't have a concern. I just told you that a test at 3 months is conclusive.

Time to move on, nothing you posted has anything to do with HIV.

Dear vance2335 I am so sorry to bother you and all the members of this forum in such an idiot way, but this happen becouse I am worried. I totally know that a differential blood does not detect HIV, but a manual differenctial blood test must show adnormalities becouse if a person is infected CD4 cells does never goes in baseline.
my manual differential blood count showed this count
wbc 8800, lymphocyte 32% that means 2816 of 8800 of wbc, from these about half of 2816 are T-cells or CD4,
if a person is infected differential blood can not show absolutely normal counts if lymphocytes, becouse if CD4 drops ,Lymphocytes drops too
This was all the history that I posted before and Teak told that " You do not have HIV concern"

Talk with a Dr about your blood work, it has nothing to do with HIV or HIV test. We do not talk about blood work here.

I know and doctor did not told to me to permorm other blood tests,
I did this blood work to know if my wbc and lymphocytes are low like an indicator of infection.
Why a differential blood has nothing to do with HIV?

ONLY A HIV TEST WILL GIVE YOU ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIV.
Now enough.

I told you that it has nothing to do with HIV and the only way to know about HIV is to have an HIV test. You fail to understand that.
