Anybody Get Cold Sweats I Wake Up Soaking Wet

First off if you’re having night sweats that’s a sign of active infection so you might need to talk to your primary care doctor or your infectious disease doctor and let them know that this is going on. They might need to run some lab test on you.

Unfortunately, night sweats are among the many side effects of HIV infection. I'm not sure if even if you are undetectable and on meds that helps any. I have been positive for over 30 years, and I still get night sweats. Not every night. But I do get them. Hang in there. 🤗

Yes... This was one of my warning signs that something was seriously wrong. I would wake up in a puddle of sweat every morning, even if I wasn't sleeping under the blankets. Once I started a medication regime and got things under control, this stopped.

Once in awhile. And there's really no trigger or cause we can trace.

Yes, I did before I was diagnosed. After I got on meds and became undetectable they went away I was diagnosed in 2013. Now I get them every once in a while usually when I am getting a cold. Hope this helps.
