 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.
