Is constant coughing a symptom of AIDS?

We all know that AIDS is a highly contagious infectious disease. There are only three ways of transmission of this infectious disease: mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission, and sexual transmission. So although it is highly contagious, as long as its transmission routes are effectively avoided, AIDS cannot be transmitted. However, there is really no cure for AIDS. Once the disease occurs, the patient can only live for about ten years. So is constant coughing a symptom of AIDS?

Continuous coughing does not mean that you are infected with HIV, but if you cough and produce phlegm for more than 2 weeks, you should be alert to tuberculosis.

Opinion and suggestion: Hello, if you have been coughing, it may be due to inflammation or diseases such as tuberculosis. Don’t worry too much about contracting AIDS. You can go to the CDC for a free AIDS test. If the test result is negative after the AIDS window period, AIDS infection can be ruled out.

If there is no history of unclean sexual intercourse or transfusion of untested blood, and if unclean syringes are not shared by multiple people for injection, AIDS will generally not occur. If one of the above behaviors does not occur, do not suspect AIDS. It is best to go to the hospital for a chest X-ray to rule out lung disease.

Suggestions: If you do not have any of the above behaviors, it is recommended that you do not consider AIDS for the time being. You should go to the hospital for a chest X-ray in time to rule out lung disease or upper respiratory tract infection. It is best to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Characteristics of clinical symptoms of AIDS

1. The disease mostly occurs in young and middle-aged people, with 80% of the cases occurring between 18 and 45 years old, which is the age group with more active sexual life.

2. After being infected with AIDS, people often suffer from some rare diseases such as Pneumocystis pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, atypical mycobacterial and fungal infections, etc.

3. Persistent and widespread lymphadenopathy throughout the body. Especially the swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits and groin is more obvious. The lymph nodes are larger than 1 cm in diameter, firm, movable and painless.

4. Concurrent malignant tumors. Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma and other malignant tumors.

5. Central nervous system symptoms. About 30% of AIDS cases experience this symptom, including headaches, impaired consciousness, dementia, convulsions, etc., which often lead to serious consequences.

Obviously, the symptoms you described do not have the characteristics of 2, 3, 4, and 5. Your cough may be caused by a cold or allergies. Recommendation: 3 grams (about half a tablespoon) of raw black sesame seeds and an appropriate amount of rock sugar, mash them together, add boiling water to make half a bowl of soup, drink on an empty stomach in the morning, and you will be cured in 3 days. Avoid eating fishy or overly salty foods.
