HIV and AFRICA

[yougle]

Hello there, looking at the origin of hiv aids ,it is said to have emerged from African primates,todate i read something about a Cameroonian woman who has a new type of hiv strain that matures faster than usual.I was involved with an hiv positive woman (as i later found out) on one occasion.I have had joint pains,lymph node enlargements,night sweats etc however after 9 weeks i tested negative.The health personel in Uganda have told me that i must test after 6 months,do we have a strain of hiv that defies the normal window period of 3 months this side.

Yesterday I did my 3 month test which has come out negative.Apparently someone on the forum claims to have been told by the CDC to make a follow up test after 6months (Askagain) this is worring.I woke up with a painfull lymph node on my right jaw and my mouth is dry and irratable and burns.It has a white patch which i thought was due to stress.Is it at all possible that our bodies can react differently to the virus.I have taken valium and other anti stress meds to sleep at night,drank alchohol does that have any bearing on my immune response?

The is ONE person that was diagnosed with the new HIV 1 group P and I'm sure you haven't had sex with her. 3 months post exposure will be conclusive even with the new group.
