So basically a few months ago,I slept with an escort...we had PROTECTED sex but I did do oral on her vagina,but at the same time I did have a cut on my lip! And we also did kiss!
The second time I had sex with a transsexual escort..in which we did have protected sex,In fact we didn’t even have sex we did oral on eachother with condoms on,but she did cum in my mouth! I asked her to stimulate my anus so she got a dildo from her draw and put it up my anus but I didn’t enjoy it? She also didn’t put a condom on the dildo?
Now recently I went for my usual blood test,and the doctor wants me to do more as my previous one came back with “slightly low white blood count” I googled what that means and theirs a list of what that may mean..
On the nhs website it has this extract:
What causes a low white blood cell count?
Common causes include:
* cancer treatment, like radiotherapy
* anti-psychotic drugs
* medication for an overactive thyroid
* some cancers, like leukaemia
* infections such as HIV or hepatitis
* autoimmune disorders, like rheumatoid arthritis
Now obviously because it says HIV I’m abit scared..
It also said that Afro Caribbean’s may have a low white blood count too
But now I’m super scared?
Need some advice !

I think low blood count could also mean to do with low iron. I had the same where I was asked to redo my blood test 6 weeks later as I had a low blood count. I freaked out assuming something to do with cancer and the nurse said it could be something as little as low iron (anaemia)
this is most likely due to the sample taking a while to reach the lab and causing a low count. Your HIV risk from this event is low /zero . There is more out there than HIV, including syphilis , which can be passed through oral sex, so you should do a full sti screen. And if some of your partners are male or trans , consider getting hepatitis B vaccination.
I think in future u must remember it not just hiv u can catch.. so wearing a condom is ok for the sexual protection but ur still putting urself at so much risk with any bodily fluids b in in mouth or anywhere... ie hepatits, herpes.syphilis.
U should have a good sexual health check and mayb not put urself at such risk....
also make sure the person ur having sex with if there a professional has had all there sexual health checks... which they should do if they are escorts
4th generation hiv tests are very conclusive after 4 weeks. Its recommended to test after 3 months if PEP or PREP has been used just in case there is delayed seroconversion which is very rare .
Er - I'm a healthcare practitioner in the HIV field and this is simply not true . check here bhiva.org/file/RHNUJgIseDaM... look at sections 4.4 ( recommendation for 4th generation test ) and then section 6 ( recommendation for repeat testing at 3 months ) .
Im not sure what country you are living in but these are both UK and European guidelines. European guidelines here ( which are based also on WHO guidelines - so these are global )
There is no role for testing at 6 months in any guideline - unless of course there is a further exposure risk within the timescale. There may be some extremely rare paediatric cases of delayed seroconversion, especially with PEP after delivery, but these are very rare.
There is a course a role of repeat testing for high risk individuals based upon new and ongoing risk.
I reference : Individuals whose specimens test negative on the initial HIV screening should be considered noninfected unless the patient presents with symptoms of primary HIV infection or has a history of recent(≤6weeks for fourth generation assays,≤12weeks for other assays)high-riskexposure. (IV,C)In the case of recent exposure,the tests should be repeated at 6weeks to 12 weeks (according to the test to be used)from the time of exposure
