CBC confusion

Hello,

I havea a quick question..

I received unprotected oral sex and fingered a sex worker is china.  The worst part of it was that after I fingered her I masterbated myself but liittle did I know that she had her period and I had a bit of blood on my finger on the hand that I fingered her then touched myself....

I forgot about this until last night when I went to the ER with a gullbladder inflamation and they did a CBC and the numbers scared me...

My WBC was 10.9 (average said 4.5- 11)  I was concerned because this is on the high end.

My Monocytes were 1.5 (average is 0.2-0.8)

The doctor said my blood work was normal as my total WBC was within the range although very close to the highest end of the range.

I checked to see what the CBC shows with HIV and it seemd confusing to me...some say low and some say high.....please help me with this.

This all happened 8 weeks prior to the blood test

In the end the ER Doc said it is my gullbladder that is my pain but does the CBC indicate HIV?

Thanks.

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.

Thank you...as I don't know that much about HIV can you please explain why I never had a risk when I might have come in to contact with fluids that contain HIV especially if it touched my foreskin or pee hole when I masternbated myself?
