Does anyone else is still facing constantly sweats?
I sweat every night and I'm tired of this. I talked to the doctors and they don't know how to control it. Any recommendations. ?

Members connected over the frustrating and isolating experience of constant sweating related to HIV, with many sharing that night sweats disrupt their sleep and make social situations uncomfortable. Several members described practical strategies they use to manage the sweating, including sleeping with fans, using air conditioners, and recognizing that certain medications like Truvada and Isentress can worsen symptoms. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of feeling different or self-conscious in public, alongside the solidarity of knowing others face the same challenge and understanding it as part of the journey.

I can agree NAndo. That is y i don't go out mostly because i sweat a lot myself. I don't like the reaction that i get but it is a part of who you are in your journey. It is a long road a head. There is a lot more then just the night sweats.

I only recently began having more frequent night sweats...it's a pain! I'm glad to hear there are others. I've been taking meds for 9 years, and I was starting to worry that something was wrong.
