Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app-based nutritional program can help people living with HIV and fatty liver disease lose at least 5% of their body weight in 6 months. Participants are randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard lifestyle advice. The goal is to find a practical, low-cost way to improve liver health and overall well-being.

Active substance: digital nutritional program (mobile app)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a simple, scalable tool to help people with HIV manage weight and reduce liver fat, improving overall health.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, and results depend on participants sticking with the app. Weight loss may be modest or not sustained long-term.
