Is there anything I should be worried about with my lymphocytes count being a little high at 43? I recently had a blood test done and it showed that my HIV duo test was non-reactive, which I did on March 1st. Right now, I'm taking medication for a fungal infection. I've been having some itching in certain areas, but there are no rashes, although it sometimes turns red after I scratch. Should I be concerned about these changes or is it just the medication working?
