Summary
This pilot study is testing whether chiropractic care can improve quality of life and reduce inflammation in adults with HIV. Researchers will compare a group receiving weekly chiropractic adjustments to a group receiving no treatment. The study aims to see if a larger trial is possible and if chiropractic care offers any benefits for people living with HIV.
