Can a mix of gym and home workouts protect hearts in HIV?
NCT ID NCT07105007
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an 8-week hybrid exercise program for people with HIV who are at risk for heart failure. Participants attend one supervised session at a center and do two unsupervised home workouts each week, plus receive education and coaching. The goal is to see if this approach increases physical activity and improves heart health markers. The study enrolls 30 adults aged 40 and older who are on stable HIV treatment and are not currently active.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a hybrid exercise program is a practical way to improve heart health and physical activity in people living with HIV.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage proof-of-concept study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. Adherence to home-based exercise may be low, and the study does not yet test long-term heart outcomes.
