There can be a window period up to three months between getting infected with HIV and testing positive. I have not heard of a case that did not show up for a year. 6.1 WBC count is within normal range. There will be some fluctuation with all tests which is normal. I don't think it is likely you have HIV (however, it is possible a test could be wrong). If you're still worried then test again.
