By far the best thing I know of for HIV/AIDS does indeed come from Africa. It is the supplement Sutherlandia OPC which consists of 80% oleander extract and 20% Sutherlandia Frutescens, the South Africa Cancer Bush.
Don't know what you got, but it is hard to beat 100% success - and only $60 per month including shipping worldwide ($45 for the capsule version) is pretty darn cheap compared to mainstream side effect laden and less effective anti-retrovirals.
