In PWH, greater VAT volume is associated with higher proportion of SAT IMs and fibroblasts, and a SAT ECM and inflammatory transcriptome, which is similar to findings in HIV-negative persons with obesity. These data identify SAT cell-type specific changes associated with VAT volume in PWH that could underlie the high rates of cardiometabolic diseases in PWH, though additional longitudinal studies are needed to define directionality and mechanisms.
