Maybe, but...: Standard antiretroviral therapy (ART) consists of the combination of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to maximally suppress the HIV virus and stop the progression of HIV disease. However, HIV also promotes diarrhea, so without knowing what drugs you're taking we can't advise further on your "chicken versus egg" question.
