Diarrhea is a symptom that may occur in both the acute and AIDS phases of AIDS. However, the presence of diarrhea is not necessarily a symptom of AIDS, and the possibility of other factors such as acute enteritis, parasitic infections, pancreatic and hepatobiliary diseases should also be considered.
In the acute phase of AIDS, patients may experience clinical symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, and rash. After entering the asymptomatic stage, patients basically have no self-conscious symptoms. As the disease progresses and eventually enters the AIDS stage, patients may experience diarrhea, fever, headache and other symptoms that last for more than a month.

In addition to AIDS, diarrhea can be caused by many other diseases such as acute enteritis, intestinal parasitic infections, chronic pancreatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and scleroderma.
After the symptoms of diarrhea appear, it is recommended that the patient should promptly consult a doctor for examination to determine the cause of the disease. And combined with the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
