"These data suggest that a loss of anti‐inflammatory (beneficial) bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory bacteria with HIV infection has the potential to drive chronic inflammation observed in HIV‐infected individuals. Furthermore, our infectivity assays indicate a potential role of the MSM‐associated gut microbiota in disease transmission and progression."
