WASHINGTON – A new strain of the virus that causes AIDS has been discovered in a woman from the African nation of Cameroon. It differs from the three known strains of human immunodeficiency virus and appears to be closely related to a form of simian virus recently discovered in wild gorillas, researchers report in Monday's edition of the journal Nature Medicine.
The finding "highlights the continuing need to watch closely for the emergence for new HIV variants, particularly in western central Africa," said the researchers, led by Jean-Christophe Plantier of the University of Rouen, France.

I just wanted to respond to what Fallen85 said on my post-first of all saying to someone 'Get over it' , or 'Suck it up' is not helpful or kind. You cannot know all of the emotional stress of dealing with this until you have been there yourself. Please don't be insensitive, I did not post here so that someone could tell me to 'Get over it'.
