Hi coughing with blood within 15 days is not due to hiv. Its due to some other disease like tuberculosis or something elese. So you should consult physician and take treatment for that. And it does not means that you are free from hiv. So you should go for confirmatory hiv testing once after a month of exposure. You can go with p24 antigen or pcr.
