Do low white blood count mean you have hiv aids?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There are many possible causes of a low white blood count besides hiv. If you are worried, get tested. It's better to know and be treated than not know and worry.

Not necessarily: Low white blood counts, or leukopenia, may be a sign of a viral infection or a severe bacterial infection. For some people, this is actually normal. In HIV infection, the CD4 t-lymphocyte, or CD4 cell is affected and this specific white blood cell decreases in number.
