The body consists of cells that range from muscle cells, nerve cells, blood cells, epithelial cells and more. All are made partly of water. All need to be continuously fueled with water, oxygen, sugars and salts.
All rely on the water, salts and nutrients that are absorbed through the small intestine and pass through blood vessels to the cells that are bathed in fluid.
Cells have to produce their own fuel in small compartments called mitochondria that generate cellular fuel with the breakdown of glucose and production of carbon dioxide that is then passed out of the tissues.
The process is called the Krebs Cycle. The final end product is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is the fuel of life. Please click:

Krebs Cycle

The Krebs Cycle is the central metabolic pathway in all aerobic organisms. The cycle is a series of eight reactions that occur in the mitochondrion. These reactions take a two carbon molecule (acetate) and completely oxidize it to carbon dioxide.The Citric Acid (Krebs) Cycle: Products and Steps - Video ..

But the HIV virus slowly brings the the Krebs Cycle to a halt which then stops life. The damage begins with the replication of the HIV in the CD4 cells guarding the gut lining.
The gut is slowly destroyed as the epithelial layer is broken down. There is no longer the passage of nutrients through the gut lining to the blood vessels on the way to the tissues and cells. The water-salt balance is damaged which brings working body processes to a halt.

There is not the passage of oxygen to every cell. The break-down of the water-salt balance halts the passage of water, salt, sugars including glucose and oxygen to the cells with removal of carbon dioxide. The cells are no longer replenished.
Living tissue slowly becomes dead meat. The sufferer dies of starvation, suffocation, infection and dehydration. A reprieve can come with antiretroviral (ARV) medication but the Krebs Cycle can not be allowed to decline past the point of no return.
But a loss of water through the small intestine can also cause collateral damage to body organs including the brain, nervous system, liver and kidneys.
There reaches a point at which the sufferer can only be treated with a drip at the hospital to artificially insert water, salts and sugars.
