Summary
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess the effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide, on visceral and ectopic fat, insulin resistance, inflammation markers, and the downstream effect of cardiovascular risk in people with HIV. The primary endpoints will be visceral and ectopic fat changes over the study period. The secondary endpoints will include changes in markers of inflammation, immune activation, gut integrity, and cardiovascular disease risk assessment.
