Summary

This study aimed to understand how different medications for opioid use disorder (like methadone or buprenorphine) impact the immune system in people with HIV. Researchers wanted to see if these drugs could reduce gut-related inflammation and improve immune recovery. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
