Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your treating doctor I advice you that HIV cant be hidden for such a long time if you are infected with than it will become obvious from now. Secondly it is not shown on CBC or differential WBC counts. If you want to screen yourself for just mental satisfaction I advice you to go for rapid antibody testing for HIV. It is a immunochromatographic test that detects antibody against HIV 1 & 2.

I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.

As anal sex is a high risk activity ,I guess you ate taking precautions (protected sex) in having relationship with your partner.
You can't suspect HIV looking at WBC or differential .
You need to undergo HIV tests to confirm your suspicion.
