HIV Infections Clinical Trial in Birmingham, AL

About This HIV Infections Study in Birmingham

People aging with HIV are at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and although physical activity is a promising target to mitigate such risk, this population engages in low levels of physical activity. Few studies have tested cognitive effects of exercise interventions or examined mechanisms of adherence to long-term exercise among diverse samples of midlife and older people with HIV. The current study will leverage an existing R01 to address these gaps and provide implications for development of personalized approaches for the treatment and prevention of cognitive impairment and dementia in older people with HIV.

Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham

Reasons for medical exclusion, as determined by Nurse Practioner:

Uncontrolled hypertension defined as resting systolic blood pressure \>150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg; participants who do not meet these criteria at first screening will be reevaluated, including follow-up evaluation by their primary care provider with initiation or adjustment of anti-hypertensive medications,

Unstable ischemic heart disease (e.g., angina, ST segment depression) or serious arrhythmias at rest or during the graded exercise test without negative follow-up evaluation will be cause for exclusion; follow-up evaluation must include diagnostic testing (e.g., thallium stress test) with interpretation by a cardiologist,

New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, clinically significant aortic stenosis, uncontrolled angina, or uncontrolled arrhythmia,

Pulmonary disease requiring the use of supplemental oxygen at rest or with physical exertion,

Malignancy requiring chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 24 weeks prior to enrollment,

Poorly controlled diabetes, as evidenced by hemoglobin A1c \> 8.5, documented within 6 months of study visit or current use of insulin,

Surgery/trauma/injury/fracture within 24 weeks prior to enrollment that, in the opinion of the study clinician, may impact a subject's baseline functional testing and ability to exercise,

Balance impairments that may impact functional testing and ability to safely exercise as reported by the participant or in their medical record,

Orthopedic problems (e.g., severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) that greatly limit the ability to perform moderate intensity resistance exercise (e.g., unable to be properly positioned in exercise equipment or to have severely restricted range of motion even after modifications have been made),
