Summary

This study tests whether a 48-week exercise program can improve physical function and reduce disability in HIV-positive adults over 50 in Côte d'Ivoire. 180 participants will be split into three groups: supervised group exercise, home-based exercise with phone support, or health education only. The main goal is to see if exercise helps them perform better on a step-up test after 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
physical activity programme
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that structured exercise helps older HIV patients stay mobile and independent.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (180 people) with no blinding, so results may not be generalizable. Participants may struggle to stick with the home-based program.
