A growing body of literature connects the gut mycobiota to several diseases, including HIV infection. In contrast to bacteria, fungi represent a smaller fraction of the gut microbiota and pose several technical challenges, including low biomass, environmental contamination and primer-associated biases. Characterizing the gut mycobiota in HIV infection is still at an early stage. We characterized the gut mycobiota in untreated people living with HIV (PWH, n = 69), PWH on antiretroviral therapy (P
