You can't spot HIV by less white blood cells alone. Other symptoms such as fever, weight loss and night sweats may also be present. I suggest that you consult with a specialist in infectious disease for a proper diagnosis and medication plan. Besides that, let your mental health issues and medications know the doctor as a precaution to avoid any drug interactions.
