Gut bugs and frailty: HIV study tracks aging clues over 5 years
NCT ID NCT05078957
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the gut bacteria of 132 people with HIV who are 55 or older and have had the virus under control for at least 5 years. Researchers want to see if changes in gut bacteria over time are linked to signs of frailty and other health problems. The goal is to better understand why people with HIV may age faster than others.
