Could High Value For T Cells CD3, Low CD 57 NK Cells With Chlamydia Indicate HIV Infection?

Hello, My patient has got a high value for T cells CD3(absolute): 2071, reference range being 900-1900/uL(in a German lab). The CD57- NK cells (absolute) count is low as well:65, reference range being 100-360/uL He is over the top also for Chlamydia pneumonia and CMV. Could those above-mentioned values point to HIV-infection?
