I'm a bit worried about my recent blood and urine test results. Most things came back normal, and both VDRL and HIV tests are non-reactive, which I'm relieved about. But my monocytes count is nil, and lymphocytes are at 30. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Could you explain what this might mean for my health?
