Summary
This study tests if semaglutide, a drug used for diabetes and weight loss, can reduce dangerous belly fat and improve heart health in people with HIV who have extra fat around the waist. About 108 adults with HIV and a high BMI will receive either the drug or a placebo for 32 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug lowers fat inside the belly and around organs, which may lower the risk of heart disease.
