Low CD4, OHL, Depression, elisa Negative at 8 weeks

[rock448]

My sincere request to please respond

1. On 3rd March 2013 my barber made a cut at back of my neck, at same time I noticed bleeding on his hand, he said same blade cut him as well. Before cut me he cut his hand.

2. I google it and found it low risk but started monitoring myself

3. Around 2 weeks 15 March- noticed small red dots on tip on my tongue and small round pimples at both my lip joints. Both still exist. I thought it is Herpes but it never converted to a pimple so far neither it hurts. After noticing this I got scared and now I am under constant depression since then.

4. After guidance from internet I did following tests

a. CD4 on 15th day Count was LOW- 380
Absolute Lymphocyte 1245 [range 990-3150]
CD3 Total T 76 [59-83]
Absolute CD3 941 [677-2383]
CD4 Helper T 30 [31-59]
CD4 Absolute 380 [424-1509]

b. RNA PCR Quantitative on 12th and 17th day- all NEGATIVE
c. Blood test ELISA "Antibody+P24 Antigen" on 14th, 28th, 35th, 40th, 54th Day -all NEGATIVE

So far I have not got any FEVER but some chills, light sore throat, light muscle pain, light joint pains, light neck stiffness but all comes and goes without FEVER.

I know conclusion will come after 13 weeks test but can someone please guide on my condition for following questions

1. RNA PCR Quantitative is not approved for diagnosis, so this test at 17 days has no significance, result was "Target not detected".

2. Can my CD4 380 be due to depression?

3. Now I have OHL like symptoms, can OHL be there without HIV, due to bad immune system?

4. Can my Antibody Creation [no Fever, no large Lymph nodes which appear when body start fight] be delayed due to my depression which suppressed my immune system due to depression

God Bless

Thanks, one quick question on CD4, CD3 and CD8

Do you think the simple math formula is

CD3 count= CD4 count + CD8 count ?

If that true then my CD4/CD8 ratio is 0.6 which could be risk prone, do you think I am at risk?

The answers aren't going to be any different then the ones you have received on Aidsmeds.

Thanks so much for your fast reply. Sorry but I have another question based on your reply and my apologies in advance if I am taking your time for irrelevant Qs. Trust me these questions means/effects me in big way so for God sake please do reply and keep helping the ignorant like me.

Under my case please note that- Barber was cleaning my neck and at the same time keep cleaning the eraser with his palm to remove hairs. During this Barber cut his hand with eraser and there could be potential blood on the eraser and within seconds he cut me as well with the same wet (with blood) eraser. Isn't this case is similar to sharing needles or needle injury?  BTW he made a deep cut on my neck because I had a big pimple (kind of) at my neck.

Do you still believe it was "NO RISK"? Sorry I was not descriptive in my earlier post, but please advise why you think my case is different from a needle injury?

NO one has been identified as infected with HIV due to contact with an environmental surface.

Additionally, HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
