Every day I got new messages and new cases here and in other website, our number is getting bigger and together we could do something !

We are not alone ! I read some cases back from 1992 with no answers but with new technologies and better ways of communication between patients we can achieve a lot !

Ideas of what could cause our illness would be discussed in our group with ideas from patients in different countries so who see him self in the same category with us can join us in :

Had unprotected sex and 4 weeks later mild fever/night sweats. Tested Hiv negative at 6 month month mark. Have recently been looking into whether or not this was primary CMV infection.
