If i am sick and have a high white blood cell count 2 months after being exposed to HIV am i HIV free?

I was exposed to HIV 2 months ago. I got a Ora Quick test at 5 weeks it was negative. I have been sick twice in one month so i was begining to worry my immune system may be deteriorating. They ordered a CBC and the only thing that came back not normal was my white blood cell count and it was high. The blood test was done at 2 months. Would i have a high white blood cell count at 2 months if I was HIV positive?

The only way to know for sure is to get tested again.

It could be that you have contracted the virus and that is causing your white blood cell count to be high, but it could be other things.

Stress and smoking can raise your white blood cell count.

Any bacterial and viral infection can raise it. You don't have to have HIV to have a high white blood cell count.

Also, it could be a combinations. You could be stressing yourself out about having HIV, which then lowers your immune system response, and then makes your more susceptible to catching an infection or a cold and that is the reason why your WBC count is high.

I really hope its not HIV, but the only way to know for sure is to get tested again.

Good luck
