| Response from Dr. Boyle
 Night sweats can be an indication of infection or other condition (e.g., cancer), but can also occur without any clear reason in some HIV-infected patients. Any patient who has night sweats should be evlauated by their doctor, especially if they have low T cells. Night sweats can occur during the acute retroviral syndrome, but other than that they are uncommon during early HIV infection. | ||||||||
