    A 96-week study linked gut microbiota profiles to atherosclerosis progression in virologically suppressed individuals with HIV.

  • 2

    Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) was used to measure atherosclerosis progression, with 43% of participants showing progression.

  • 3

    Distinct microbial profiles were identified, with Agathobacter and Ruminococcus 2 associated with cIMT progression.

  • 4

    Nonprogression of atherosclerosis was consistently linked to the presence of Prevotella 7 in the gut microbiota.

  • 5

    The study highlights the potential role of gut microbiota in cardiovascular disease among people living with HIV.
