IMPORTANCE Individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection receiving combined antiretroviral therapy (ART) have an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Effects of ART on arterial inflammation among treatment-naive individuals with HIV are unknown.OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of newly initiated ART on arterial inflammation and other immune/inflammatory indices in ART-naive patients with HIV infection.DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS Twelve treatment-naive HIV-infected individuals underwent fludeoxyglucose F 18 ([F-18]-FDG) positron emission tomographic scanning for assessment of arterial inflammation, coronary computed tomographic angiography for assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis, and systemic immune and metabolic phenotyping before and 6 months after the initiation of therapy with elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (combined ART). Systemic immune and metabolic factors were also assessed in 12 prospectively recruited individuals without HIV serving as controls. The study began July 24, 2012, and was completed May 7, 2015.INTERVENTIONS Combined ART in the HIV-infected cohort.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was change in aortic target-background ratio (TBR) on [F-18]-FDG-PET with combined ART in the HIV-infected group. RESULTS For the 12 participants with HIV infection (mean (SD) age, 35 [11] years), combined ART suppressed viral load (mean [SD] log viral load, from 4.3 [0.6] to 1.3 [0] copies/ mL; P
