Summary
This study compared signs of aging in 123 HIV-infected adults to the general population. Researchers measured bone density, muscle strength, skin changes, and thinking abilities. The goal was to understand if HIV speeds up aging in these areas. No new treatment was tested; it was purely an observation study.
