The aim of this research is to assess the contribution of gastric mucosal immunity and Helicobcter pyloi in people living with HIV (PLWH). We conducted a prospective study of PLWH who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected at the same point to determine the frequency of peripheral blood gut homing CD4+ T cells and CD4+ memory T cells subsets by flow cytometry and Biopsy specimens was obtained to investigate gastric micobiome. The result of this research showed the association of Gut homing CD4+ T cells with chronic active gastritis and indirect colonization resistance by host mucosal immunity may affect the gastric microbiome In PLWH with CD4>200.
