First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study tests a culturally tailored program to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity in Latino men over 50 living with HIV. Participants meet with a community health worker, join group walking sessions three times a week, and discuss pleasant activities. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it can lower cardiometabolic risk.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical, culturally tailored way to reduce heart disease, diabetes, and obesity risk in older Latino men living with HIV.
