Question : I had protected sex 6 weeks ago. I don't have any symptoms. However i did a CBC and my lymphocyte percentage is 43.6%. Do i need to worry about HIV?

Brief Answer:
No need to worry about HIV.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You had protected sex along with no symptoms so no need to worry about HIV as the risk is not there. The lymphocyte count is also within normal range not so high. Be relaxed, forget about the incidence and move on. For any query get back to me again.

Hope I have answered your query.

Thank you.
