Summary

This study tests a program called One-Mind One-Heart that combines mindfulness and behavior change skills to help older adults with HIV reduce stress and improve heart health. The program includes text messages and covers topics like physical activity, diet, and substance use. The study will enroll 50 people aged 50 and older with HIV and high stress levels to see if the program is feasible and acceptable.

Active substance

mindfulness and behavior change program (One-Mind One-Heart)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to lower heart disease risk in older people with HIV by reducing stress and promoting healthy habits.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small pilot study with only 50 participants. It is designed to test feasibility, not effectiveness, so the program may not actually improve heart health.
