A persistent non-productive (or dry) cough is a common symptom of PCP (Pneumocystis pneumonia).
PCP was historically one of the most common causes of death among people living with HIV and AIDS; but the use of highly effective antibiotic treatments, to prevent and cure the condition, means that PCP fatalities are increasingly rare. PCP is one of the opportunistic illnesses that defines the onset of AIDS.
