It affects the digestive tract and commonly manifests as frequent, loose, or watery stools, which can be driven by opportunistic infections (such as parasitic, bacterial, or viral pathogens) or noninfectious mechanisms including direct viral-induced mucosal enteropathy and antiretroviral therapy toxicity Pathophysiologically, the condition involves depletion of gut-associated lymphoid tissue CD4+ T cells, chronic mucosal inflammation, impaired intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, and dysregu...

Pathophysiologically, the condition involves depletion of gut-associated lymphoid tissue CD4+ T cells, chronic mucosal inflammation, impaired intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, and dysregulated intestinal ion secretion leading to malabsorption, secretory fluid loss, and nutritional wasting
