Your lymphocyte count doesn't tell you usually about HIV infection. Those blood parameters look normal. If you are concerned, you should do a HIV and syphilis test , possibly hep B depending on where in the world you are , at least 4 weeks from the sex. You cant rely on other surrogate markers like full blood counts to rule out HIV or other infections.

Im sorry I don't understand what you mean. Regardless of ANY other blood results, they do not rule out HIV infection. The only test which is definitive is a HIV test, 4 weeks after possible exposure ( a 4 th generation HIV test , which includes P24 antigen )
