Project Description
High obesity rates increasingly contribute to cardiometabolic disease risk in people with HIV. This project addresses this public health issue by assessing physical activity patterns and developing a physical activity intervention to reduce cardiometabolic risks in obese individuals with HIV. If successful, this project is expected to lead to a novel intervention that could benefit people living with HIV and obesity in rural settings in South Africa and beyond.
