Having advanced AIDS with a serious infection (toxoplasmosis) often messes up the gut (digestive system). On top of that taking many medications for the toxoplasmosis and HIV alsooften messes up the gut. Diet evaluation, exercise, good fluid intake, fiber intake, and attempts to restore gut mircrobial balance (ie with active culture yogurt) are can be important for more normal gut function but that is often tough in the setting of new diagnosis and many new medications. The HIV medications you are taking are intended to : 1) drop your HIV level to undetectable, 2) help your immune system stabilize and recovery from the damage HIV has been causing, 3) protect you from additional AIDS-related problems, and 4) make it less likely that you might transmit HIV to another person.
