lymphocytes high and low neutrophils extremely worried about hiv..
Dear experts before 3 weeks i had vaginal exposure with a prostiture..After that next week i got mild fever and sore throat...and from 2 weeks m having muscle pains..For that i visited my doctor and he told me to do complete blood count..i did complete blood count in which my total wbc was 10.8 K/uL ( normal range is in between 4-11) my neutrophils count were 37% ( normal range is in between 40-75 % ) and my lymphocytes count are 56 % normal range is in between 20 to 45 % ) m really scared about my increasing lymphocytes and decreasing neutrophils..my doctor told me that this is because of viral infection and hiv is a viral infection right?? i have read in many forums that high lymphocytes and low neutrophils occurs in initial stage of hiv infection..Is this correct?? m really scared please give some advice :(
See a Dr, this has nothing to do with HIV.

All that matters is conclusive negative hiv tests. I have had chronic lymphocytosis and painful lymph nodes since my unprotected vaginal exposure 11 months ago. Still investigating the cause but no progression in symptoms. Last movements are MRI of pelvic area last week. Pain in lower abdomen and groin/pelvis since exposure. Docs are guessing muscle or nerve spasms , but the lymphocyte increasement is still a mystery. Have had my bloodcells under the microscope and nothing abnormal was found. Have your conclusive hiv test..full std panel and trust your results. Then work with your doc to find other causes. Best of luck!!
One more thing to tell teak..i am uncircumcised and i didnt used water or anything as lubricant while sex..it was a rough sex..will it make any difference brother?i think i have got cut on my foeeskin on tip of my penis due to not using lube and because of roughness..
I know teak i cant think of hiv due to my symptoms..but just for knowledge and peace of mind is ars fever high or low?i got 37.3 degree..and i had viral pharyngites according to doctor..i have heard pharyngiyes is one of tje most common symptom of acute hiv..and my last ques about high lymphocytes and low neutrophils..u must agrer that lymphocytes are high and neutrophils are low if a person has acute viral infection..and one of the docs in this forum told that during ars persons lymphocytes increases..is this true?just answer this 3 questions after that i wont irritate u guys :(
Thanks for that..it means viral infection can be anything?i have heard 1 doc in expert forums saying that in hiv ars stage lymphocytes increases..so i was afraid..how much degree fever is there in ars stage?and regarding my sorethroat my doc told its viral pharyngites..can it be related to acute hiv symptom?because i have read in many forums that pharyngites is one of the common symptom
Just a quick search for high lymphocytes and low neutrophils on google even shows nothing to do with HIV. Yes it could mean that it's some sort of "viral infection" and your doctor has already told you what viral infection that is. Try resolving your problems with him/her first. If you're worried about HIV then take an HIV test. A CBC will not tell your HIV status. Since you're so anxious you should try a 4th Generation DUO test, or HIV RNA test. These tests can pick up infection very early and if you're negative then that is highly likely to remain that way. You will need a final test at 3 months to confirm and definitively rule out HIV. But until then, hassling these folks on here will not help you. I promise you that.
m sorry teak but m really scared because my doctor told that the elevation is because of viral infection and hiv is a virus..thats what scared me..and m working in a country where if found positive than i will be deported..u know my exposure right..i was calmed after getting your advices,but after my cbc and doctors words i got freaked out again thats why came here to take your advice..my muscle pain arent going from 2 weeks..and today i had temp of around 37.1 degrees..what is the normal fever temp in persons with ars??and regarding my sorethroat my doctor told its viral pharyngites..viral pharyngites is differnent from the sorethroat associated with persons in ars??
