ars and high lymphocyte count

Hi Brothers,

I had protected vaginal and oral sex in jan month(i belive its protected but im not sure).Also had unprotected breast sex(rubbing the ureathra of my penis on the CSW's boobs nakedly).Ever since that incident i ve been going through hell.I could not sleep,cannot work,has lost my productive normal life for the last 2 months.I had 4 tests so far.Test at 2,4,6,8 weeks after exposure.All are negative.All the tests were done by Fouth gen(which tests both the P24 virus and the antobody portion also).

Now the problem for me is Just before my 8 week negative test(3 days before the test) I had rash on the back side of my hip.The rash looks like a reddish thin scratch line nearly extending to 5 cms.I never had a rash like this before in my life.I belive i have a weak immune system as i catch cold and allergies very frequently(almost once a week).so have a doubt that im sero converting now after the rash.



The important part of my question is reg the lymphocyte count.when ever i used to take HIV test i also do a CBC count.There are 3 cbc count taken by me in the last 8 weeks.
2 weeks-Lympocyte count was 22(reference range is 20-40)
6 weeks-Lympocyte count was 26(reference range is 20-40)
8 weeks-Lympocyte count was 36(reference range is 20-40)

The first six weeks my lymphocyte count was low i think that delayed my sero conversion.But my last lymphocyte count has jumped to 36(exactly 10 higher that the previous count).Also i had a rash during this time which makes me even more worried.I have read the immediate rise of lymphocyte count means that the immune system will trigger a instant reaction against a forign particles inside the body(the forign particles refers to the HIV virus).I also read the the lymohocyte count will be higher in persons who are going through the acute hiv phase.is this true?please brothers help me im dying inside....please give ur honest veiws about my situation.

Thanks in Advance

Continue addressing your OCD, you don't have an HIV concern.
