Hydrogen is the most common element of all the acids. There are some acids which don't have Carbon, Oxygen. But there is none without Hydrogen. Lets take a few examples to make it simple:
HCl - hydrochloric acid; HNO3 - nitric acid; H2SO4 - sulfuric acid
HBr - hydrobromic acid
HI - hydroiodic acid
HClO4 - perchloric acid
HClO3 - chloric acid
H2SO3 - sulfurous acid
HSO4 - - hydrogen sulfate ion
H3PO4 - phosphoric acid
HNO2 - nitrous acid
HF - hydrofluoric acid
HCO2H - methanoic acid
C6H5COOH - benzoic acid
CH3COOH - acetic acid
HCOOH - formic acid
According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid-base theory and also the Arrhenius acid-base theory all acids contain Hydrogen.
