Summary

This study looked at 80 HIV patients on long-term antiretroviral therapy to understand why their gut immune barrier remains damaged. The leaky gut allows bacteria to enter the blood, causing harmful inflammation. Researchers measured immune cells in blood and gut tissue to find out why the gut doesn't heal properly.
