    Chronic HIV infection is linked to systemic inflammation and altered gut microbiota, contributing to increased cardiovascular disease risk.

  • 2

    Individuals with HIV show significant differences in gut microbiome β-diversity compared to those without HIV, affecting cardiovascular health.

  • 3

    Specific gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum, correlate with lower plaque burden, while Ruminococcus bromii is linked to higher plaque burden.

  • 4

    Depletion of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria is associated with immune activation and metabolic disorders in people living with HIV.
