 Yes, you can have infection for that long and not have it affect the white blood cell count. In some people who have been infected for a long time, it may never affect the count. However, in people with high HIV viral loads, or who have AIDS, in addition to affects on CD4 count, there can be an effect on the white blood cell count. | ||||||||
