Is there any information on clusters and HIV?
I have a very dear friend who suffers from both.
Any info would be deeply appreciated.

Having CH for 30 years and working in the HIV/AIDS field for many years I fail to see any connection what so ever.

I would hope they have decent medical care on both sides of that, their only concern would be interactions of the meds used for each. I'm with Chewy, I don't think one would have any effect on the other, but the meds might be tricky.

Search on PubMed (National Library of Medicine) produced zero rests. Since this site is the bible of medical literature I'd take that as a nearly final word on the issue.

Found this ... not sure if it helps 
Quote:Headache. 1999 Jan;39(1):3-10. Links
Primary Headaches in HIV-Infected Patients.
Mirsattari SM, Power C, Nath A.
From the Department of Internal Medicine, Sections of Neurology, University of Manitoba Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, MB, Canada.
Headache in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may indicate life-threatening illnesses such as opportunistic infections or neoplasms. Alternatively, such patients may develop benign self-limiting headaches. Hence, defining the various types of headache in these patients is essential for proper management. This study describes the clinical characteristics of primary headaches occurring in a group of HIV-infected patients. Of 115 patients seen from 1990 to 1996, 44 (38%) had headaches. Primary headaches were present in 29 (66%) patients and secondary causes were identified in 15 (34%). Among those with primary headaches, migraine occurred in 22 (76%), tension-type headache in 4 (14%), and cluster headache in 3 (10%) patients. Half of those with migraine (n=ll), 1 patient with tension-type headache, and 1 patient with cluster headache developed chronic daily headaches which were severe and refractory to conventional headache or antiretroviral therapy. We conclude that primary headaches in patients with HIV infection are: (1) the commonest type of headache; (2) may present for the first time in individuals with severe immunosuppression; (3) usually bear no relationship to antiretroviral drug therapy; (4) polypharmacy, depression, anxiety, and insomnia are commonly associated comorbidities; (5) frequently do not respond to conventional management and carry a poor prognosis; and (6) do not require neuroradiological and/or cerebrospinal fluid evaluations. |

All the best with it.
