High white blood cell count?
I had a blood test today, which indicated my white blood cell levels be up. I haven't been feeling well. I know that a sign of have HIV is high white blood cells.
d my doctor have see if I had HIV from that test?
If you don't have a reason to worry almost HIV don't worry about it.
Any infection can impose your white blood cell count to increase. At some point, HIV may actually cause your white blood cell count to decrease, not increase, since HIV kill a type of white blood cell. However, this would not happen for a long time, and HIV can not be diagnosed by symptoms or a blood count test or any test bar an HIV test. If you think you may have be exposed to HIV, you need to get an HIV test.
No....HIV can't be diagnosed from a white blood cell count.
With HIV you would have a low white count anyway (not a lofty one)
If your white count was just slightly elavated it probably just finances you have a slight infection going on somewhere in your body.
lso depends on if the entire white count was eleveted or just a specific type of white cell (elevated neutrophils = bacterial infection, eleveted lymphocytes = viral infection, and eleveted eosinophils = parasitic infection)
Don't worry. Your white count probably be not very abnormal or your doctor would call you within and follow up with more tests. Source(s): I work in a hospital laboratory.
Definitely not HIV at any rate. HIV targets immune cell and lyses them, that is why you get Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, because it kills your white blood cell. I wouldn't be worried, especially about HIV.
