This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a carefully designed diet that promotes healthy gut bacteria can help prevent heart disease in older people living with HIV. About half of participants will receive specialized dietary guidance three times a week for three months, plus check-in sessions every two weeks. The other half will continue their usual care. Researchers will measure changes in gut health and heart disease risk markers over six months.
People living with HIV who are older face a higher risk of heart disease, and current prevention strategies don't always work well enough. This trial explores whether improving gut bacteria through diet might be a safe and effective way to lower that risk.
If enrolled, you will be randomly assigned to either the diet program group or the usual care group. The diet group will attend three sessions per week for three months where you'll learn about foods that support healthy gut bacteria, plus have two brief check-ins each week with a counselor. All participants will have blood tests and health assessments at the start, after three months, and after six months to track changes in heart disease risk and gut health. The entire study lasts six months.
