Summary
This study tests whether semaglutide (Ozempic) helps people with HIV and obesity lose more weight than diet and exercise alone. About 80 participants will receive either semaglutide injections or standard lifestyle advice for 28 weeks. Researchers will also check how the drug affects immune function and metabolism.
