Article Synopsis
- People with HIV (PLWH) experience higher gastrointestinal inflammation, potentially due to the virus, immune dysfunction, sexual behaviors in men who have sex with men (MSM), and gut microbiome differences.
- A study analyzed fecal immune factors and microbiomes in HIV negative MSM and two groups of MSM with HIV, one untreated and one on treatment, to understand the causes of this inflammation.
- Results showed that MSM with HIV had higher gastrointestinal inflammation markers and lower protective cytokines, with certain immune factors correlating with inflammation levels and affecting gut barrier function.
