AB This chapter describes the differential diagnosis and management of
gastrointestinal symptoms associated with HIV infection. There is no
clear point when management moves from intervention to palliation, and
as with other manifestations of HIV disease, clinical decisions have to
be guided by the wishes of the patient. In general, early diagnosis and
treatment of HIV associated opportunistic infection are likely to keep
patients symptom free, but when specific therapy is unavailable,
unsuccessful or unwanted, then there is a clear indication to strive for
symptom control using conventional palliative care.
