lower white blood cell - could this be an indicator of HIV?

[thesisit]

I had a possible exposure last June 7 (anal sex).

Around 1 month after (July 4), due to a medical check up, I got a CBC count. My WBC showed 11.87.

53 days post possible exposure (July 30), I tested negative with rapid test.

Now, August 5, I had a CBC count again. This time, it showed 8.26, much lower than last month's 11.87.

Now, I've read that low WBC count can be common among patients with HIV and that it could be an indicator. Could this be a case of delayed seroconversion? Will I be expecting a positive result when I test again?

Normally a WBC test has a range of 4.0-10.0

It was unprotected since he remoced the condom behind me. And the guy has blocked me online which makes me more anxious.

What do you mean range?

[JamesD1991]

You've already been given the real deal. Plus, do you know what range your WBC was on?

Was your sex unprotected?

95% of infections are detected at 4-6 weeks, all tests positive at 8 weeks. Your result so far is negative at 7+ weeks.

WBC counts fluctuate constantly. You had a risk if your sex was unprotected but if your issue is due to HIV is unknown. Your HIV test result is reliable. Test again at 8-12 weeks and follow up With your pcp to monitor your WBC. James 1991 probably has better advice on this.
