so. since we are not mind readers...you will have to expand on your post. there is no way we can assess your risk if we do not know if you were ever at risk.

i read in one article that in hiv infection the lymphocyte levels are decreased.

So do you think that i might be suffering from HIV infection ?

awaits your rply with thanks.

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 ?

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.
