 Tony, Thanks for your post and for your valuable volunteer work. As far as I'm aware, there isn't much to suggest that your client's excessive sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis or hyperdiaphoresis) as you've described it is associated with HIV or HIV treatment. Night sweats (excessive sweating at night only) is associated with HIV and other medical conditions. Some references note that the condition is often associated with emotional stress, food ingestion or endocrine diseases. Hope this helps, BY | ||||||||
