Night Sweats Help Please...(GMan or Switch)
      #92439 - 03/17/04 09:30 AM

Help...

I have a seriuous question..what do HIV/AIDS related night sweats look like? For about 3 years now I find that I get on occasion light night sweats ( top of my head, neck and maybe upper chest are damp). The sheets are dry and only a few times I have actually made my t-shirt really damp-when I had a cold.

Is this a sign that I am progressing to AIDS? I have never had a test and my exposure has been protected sex with woman for about the last 15 years.

Help please.. I am consumed with worry.

If your exposure was protected, then it wasn't an exposure. HIV is not able to get through intact latex. Also, if neither of you have HIV, then you can't give it to one another. There are no indicative symptoms of HIV, that is why testing is so important. I can not honestly answer your night sweats question because there is no real answer for it.

Like I said, if you have only had protected sex and know for a fact that the condoms never broke or slipped off, you have no reason to be worried. Since you have never had a test, you could always get tested for peace of mind. Sexually active people should be getting tested for all STI's annually anyway. Good luck.

You are fine, protected sex is no risk for HIV.
If you actually had the real night sweats you would know, they are drenching, not what you spoke of.
