Okay, I hope I get what you are asking correctly. There are certain types of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that have unique features that distinguish them. One is Burkitt's Lymphoma (a childhood B-cell lymphoma generaly found in tropical Africa).
People who test pos. for HIV are four time more likely to develop non Hodgkins lymphoma that the general public. Most of them will have hight grade B-cell lymphoma (small noncleaved Burkitt's and non-Burkitts or immunoblastic.
Treatment options for this is Stage 1 and Contiguous Stage 2---(Chemotherapy plus radiation therapy)
Agressiive Noncontiguous Sate 2, 3 & 4 (combination chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation or peripheral stem cell transplant.)
Recurrent Agressive NOn Hodgkins (Bone marrow transplant, bone marrow transplant plus radiation)
I really hope this helped you out! Please take care and I hope all is well.

I think you are talking about Burkitt's Lymphoma? I heard once that it could be caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus - but that was a long time ago and I am not sure if that is really true.
