New form of HIV is true? help

"Heard about a new form of HIV especially from africa that cannot be read by any of the tests out there is that true? anyone has that update?
I suspect a possible exposure about 10 years ago.
I have been sick for the past 3 years with breathing disorder, abdominal pain, chest tightness, tightness in stomach head and noise, tiredeness and weakness sometimes.
Did a Full blood count, a few chest xrays, ct scan, and HIV clearview test last week, they all came out negative. Is it possible to have HIV/AIDS and the clearview test in a reputed hospital does not show it? the exposure 10 years ago was with an african girl from West Africa during a mission, it was one time and the condom broke. About 5 months after I felt very sick, i was shaking and been hospitalized. After that my life was different, frequent headaches, pain in the joints from time to time, but nothing serious until three years ago..I have a chronic chest tightness, a now a cold that stayed for about 2 months now

Thanks

Do you know by any chance if a Full blood count and antibodies test would show the CD 4 and CD8 ratio or anything like that? Like somehow show an auto-immune problem?

No, it isn't true. The last known group was P and it was detected by an ELISA test.
