God. You actually found something worse than CH to worry about. 
Clusters have nothing to do with HIV. I suppose this calls for a lot of drinks and unsafe sex.

Looking on the positive side - could it be that he is worried that he might have to have an HIV test, leading to insurance problems. That could be a genuine concern - which we can help allay.

Cluster headaches are correlated with Epstein-Barr virus, Herpes simplex 1 & 2, and possibly parainfluenza virus. Not aware of any research on HIV and clusters.

New findings in cluster headache.
Giacovazzo M.
Cattedra di Patologia Speciale Medica e Metodologia Clinica VI, Universita degli Studi, Roma La Sapienza, Italy.
The clinical profile of cluster headache, in Italy better known as "Horton's histaminic headache" is described. The Author makes an inventory of all pathogenetic theories about this excruciating pain syndrome that strikes men more than women. On the basis of findings of the Author and his School over a ten-year period, there is a "periodic lack of immunitary oversee". The salient points of various stages of this study are: low frequency of HLA-B14 antigen with, in contrast, high frequency of the HLA-DR5 antigen of the major histocompatibility system. The HLA B18 antigen of the same major histocompatibility system has been found in patients who respond to lithium therapy. A lack of the HLA-B18 antigen has been found in cluster headache patients who are "non-responders" to lithium therapy. Low titers of antibody response in the pain free periods of these subjects, and high titers in the painful periods has also been found in the serum of cluster headache patients; the lack of alpha 1-antitrypsin in basal conditions; increase of IgE (PRIST) values in painful periods; high titers of C1qSp and KgBt circulating immuno-complexes. The cellular immunity studies of the patients showed an increase of the leukocyte subpopulations Leu7+ and Leu M3+. Besides, the natural killer function that contributes to the defense-mechanism against viral disease, was very low. High titers of anti-herpes simplex 1 and 2 viruses and anti-Epstein-Barr virus have been found in cluster headache patients and in a few observations of Burkitt's lymphoma with associated cluster headache, studied in Sahel area too.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

Thanks for that!
Everyone thought I was joking when I said I believed there was a herpes link!
I wasn't, but thought it was likely either people wouldn't admit to it in a survey as it has unwarranted bad connotations, or in many cases would have been exposed without ever knowing as they could be symptomless.
