Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective:

In this study the investigators aim at investigating:

1. probiotics ability to modulate the microbiome and microbial translocation,
2. if probiotics affect the level of cholesterol, triglycerides as markers of cardiovascular risk factors and
3. if a reduction of microbial translocation is associated with a reduction of inflammation in the gastro-intestinal tract.

Design:

The study is a prospective clinical intervention trial of 40 HIV-infected patients.

Method:

The investigator will administer the bacteria Lactobacillus Rhamnosus in capsular form to each patient 2 times a day in 8 weeks. At baseline and at the 8th week of the intervention, the investigators will collect blood samples, feces samples and make a positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance scans.
