Hi
Lymphocytopenia treatment is aimed to increase or attain the normal levels of lymphocytes. The treatment would also depend on the cause of the condition. The following are recommended or advised to people who are suffering from lymphopenia:
Gamma globulin. This is a substance that is rich in antibodies which can assist in avoiding infections. Those who have low lymphocytes then can presumably attain the normal count of lymphocytes when they administer this.
Bone marrow transplant. This is a very expensive form of treatment but is indeed effective especially to those who have problems with their bone marrow. This can alter the problem in immunodeficiency and also provide good or better prognosis to those with malignancies of the bone marrow.
Treat the infection. When a person is known to be suffering from an infection, they should be provided with the congruent medications. Provide specific antibiotics, antiviral agents, antifungal drugs, and antiparasitic agents to directly aim the disease process that causes lymphopenia.

While you are right about the fact that in HIV the lymphocyte counts may be low, but there are a host of other conditions that can cause that. If you have any of the risk factors (i.v. drug abuse, unprotected sexual intercourse with strangers, homosexual partners with HIV, etc) predisposing you to HIV, it will be wise to get yourself tested. If you are not having frequent fever/cough/weight loss, then you need not worry. However it will be worth sharing your complete hemogram report for a better analysis.
