Brief Answer: Mostly due to tuberculosis Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. If you talk practically , these things can occur at any stage. However , if we go according to Center of disease classification , they don't mention night sweats and dry cough as a part of there classification. but if you still wanna know , i would say from CDC Stage 2-3. Night sweats can occur in HIV infection as a result of co-existing Tuberculosis infection , so stage is not a matter in that case , as a person with HIV can have tuberculosis at any stage. If we talk about dry cough , it is usually due to secondary infections like Pneumocystis pneumonia , tuberculosis , fungal pneumonia's. So , this should not be a concern that what stage it is with these symptoms , concern should be why they are. I advise you to get Chest Xray , Hemogram , CD4 counts of the concerned person for a better diagnosis and treatment This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
