Hi,
I am recovering from a viral fever and severe headache. To cure the same I have been on a doze of Azithral (azithromycin) anti-biotic. Eventually the fever and headache was gone but the strong dose of anti biotics has caused continuous vomiting leading to de-hydration. A blood test done is reporting a WBC of 3200, which I believe is below normal.
Couple of things which is bothering me:
1. Azithral is sometimes used as a preventative for Mycobacterium avium complex in patients with HIV.
2. HIV results in low WBC count.
Does this mean that there is a possibilty of me being HIV positive or is all this a pure co-incidence?
Regards,
Alex.
