Lizzie, asked you what your risk was.  
Why do you think you have HIV?

Your CBC numbers are NOT relevent where HIV is concerned. You should NEVER attempt to diagnose the presence or absence of HIV based on ANY Blood Tests OTHER than an HIV-specific assay. AS you've been asked, what is the risk you're concerned over ?

ELISA report but i have a very low level of lymphocyte count.

Once again, what do you feel your "exposure" was ? If the HIV test was at least 3 months after the "exposure", you're CONCLUSIVELY NEGATIVE.
