Treatment: A bronchoscopy to test lung fluid for bacteria, fungi and viral causes of a possible lung infection may be indicated. Your dry cough is concerning and a CT image may identify additional areas of concern. Treatment of your HIV is indicated and an appointment with your HIV specialist is suggested.
