A CD4 count is irrelevant...you are HIV Negative...tests don't lie.  Time to put this behind you and move on.

well....i'll say it was done 6 years after the exposure....but you never know what might have happened in the lab...........maybe they mixed my blood with some one else blood thinking that it was mien  ...or maybe they didn't do the test in a proper way. ..


all these stuff might happen ....that is way i want to confirm it with the cd4 count...i mean after all these years my cd4 count would have decreased at least a little.

don't you think so....!!!

you can "confirm" your test by making sure it was done 3 months post exposure.
