Summary

This study tests if tirzepatide, a weekly injection, can help 12 overweight or obese adults with well-controlled HIV lose weight and reduce chronic inflammation. Participants will receive increasing doses over 12 weeks, and researchers will track body weight, body composition, liver fat, and inflammatory markers. The goal is to see if this approach can improve health outcomes in this population.
