Coughing is not, in and of itself, a symptom of HIV or AIDS. However, those who suffer from HIV or AIDS have weakened immune systems, and are more prone to catching colds and other illnesses which can cause coughing.
Coughing can be a symptom of HIV. However, coughing is also a symptom of innumerable other ailments. Coughing could mean you have a cold, allergies, the flu and many other illnesses. You should go to a doctor or clinic for an HIV test if you are concerned.
