Exposure in Angola
Hi doctors,
I'm ashamed to say I'm an Indian man at this point. But the exposure I had is even more shameful and almost taking my life!!
I'm an Indian worker building railway in Angola, southwest Africa.
6 months ago I had a lot of alcohol and got drunk. The stupid thing I did was going to a bar with a native guy.
I forget if I joked I was gay but I remember I was penetrated by two black men with no condom! I was painful and bled a lot.
The next few weeks I had a temperature of 37.4 degrees Celsius from time to time, with other strange symptoms showing up.
When I'm back home, my friends told me to get tested. On 88th day I tested equivocal and then got a negative confirmatory result.
I searched on the web and it says I probably was infected by some Africa-only subtype which cannot be diagnosed until I progress into aids and extremely I'll. I am so regretted and don't want to do nothing except wait for death.

Thank u so much, my friend!
What puzzles me is the guy diagnosed in France with n group infection, who was infected by Africans(no offense, I'm so sorry), and those Cameroons. How come they cannot be detected by earlier tests? Is the test outdated or the news is false?
I think Angola is no better than Cameroon or Congo in this way(I mean the spread of rare HIV strains like n group)

There is no remaining chance of infection. Your test was conclusive.
Yes I think so, thank u. I know I'm so lucky that the confirmatory test result is neg-, but the rare chance is still haunting me.
If the exposure were not in rural Africa, I would not concern at this point. Now my family urge me to get married, and I have been with my gf for 4 years, she's a good girl and has her virginity. We took part in the parade to support the protection of female, too.
I don't want to transmit anything bad to her. What should I do now to rule out the remaining rare chances of HIV infection?

You should be thanking the heavens that you are HIV negative instead of looking up for rare strains of the disease. Never ever engage in something like that again!!
Thank you.
May the god bless u, too!

Hi Jo,
My dr said they use indian produced Chemiluminescence and told me I'm ok. But when I told them about the N and P group HIV in rural Africa, they choked!
The website says HIV is easy to mutate so it's possible some rare strains cannot be detected readily by current method.
Are u so sure I was not infected, because America has new ways to detect all strains?
