Summary

This early-stage study looks at whether two types of smell exercises (smelling scents twice a day or using a scent diffuser at night) are acceptable and helpful for adults over 40 with HIV. The main goal is to see if people will stick with the program and if it can improve their sense of smell and thinking skills. Eighty participants will try one of the two methods for 8 weeks at home.
