A member asked:

Had an elevated wbc at 12.6 with neutrophils at 96%. does this mean my lymphocytes are low? does this bring any relation to acute hiv infection?

Yes.: At the time of the blood test, your lymphocyte count was low. HIV infection is one possible cause. There is a King list of other possible causes.
