Hi,
There are many causes of headache in AIDS especially the advanced disease, like Tuberculoma, Tuberculolous and cryptococcal meningitis , encephalitis , toxoplasposis and CMV infection. But all of them are there in advanced disease with a low CD4 count. Smitherman published a paper in the journal 'Headache' in 2012 according to which there is relationship between HIV and migraine.
