    The gut microbiome influences atherogenesis by modulating immunity and metabolism, particularly in people with HIV.

  • 2

    Masiá et al conducted the first longitudinal study linking gut microbiome changes to subclinical atherosclerosis progression in HIV patients.

  • 3

    Distinct microbial signatures, including Agathobacter and Ruminococcus 2, were associated with atherosclerosis progression, independent of traditional risk factors.

  • 4

    Prevotella 7 was linked to nonprogression of atherosclerosis, suggesting complex roles of microbiome taxa in cardiovascular health.

  • 5

    Further research is needed to establish causality and explore the microbiome's potential as a therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease in HIV.
