Background. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and is associated with perturbation of the gut microbiota.We analyzed gut microbiota in 30 HIV-infected individuals with CHD (CHD+) and 30 without CHD (CHD) of the HIV-HEART study group.Gut microbiota linked to CHD was associated with lower -diversity. Despite insignificant differences in -diversity, co-occurrence networks of bacterial genera clearly diverged between CHD+ and CHD individuals. Multidimensional scaling separated HIV-infected individuals into 2 microbiome clusters, dominated by the genus Prevotella or Bacteroides. The relative abundance of 49 other genera was significantly different between both clusters. The Prevotella-rich cluster was largely composed of men who have sex with men (MSM) (97%), whereas the Bacteroides-rich cluster comprised both MSM (45%) and heterosexual individuals (55%). MSM of the Bacteroides-rich cluster were characterized by reduced -diversity, advanced immunological HIV stage, longer antiretroviral therapy with more ART regimens, and longer use of protease inhibitors, compared with Prevotella-rich MSM.Community structures of gut microbiota rather than individual species might facilitate risk assessment of CHD in HIV-infected individuals. Sexual behavior appears to be an important factor affecting gut microbiota -diversity and should be considered in future studies.Gut microbiota linked to coronary heart disease in HIV infection is characterized by reduced -diversity and altered co-occurrence network despite insignificant differences in -diversity. Sexual behavior affects -diversity of the gut microbiota and should be considered in future studies.
