Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You had unprotected sex but tri-dot 2nd generation and ELISA 3rd generation tests both are negative after 6 months of exposure than nothing to worry at all because you are absolutely free from HIV and the results are 100% conclusive and reliable.
As fr as persistent cough is considered it might be due to some chest infection or allergy. Consult your physician, go for some investigations like x-ray chest, CBC and follow the treatment regime. Don't take too much of stress or tension.
Hope this info will help you. If still any doubt left in your mind feel free to ask me and I am always available here to help you straight way.
Thank You
