Our lab investigates how to help adults with HIV age well. We use rigorous and innovative research techniques to examine how non-pharmacological approaches prevent and mitigate chronic disease, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life in people living with HIV.
Can Multi-Component 8-week Tailored Intervention improve cardiovascular health in HIV?
Does High Intensity Interval Training reduce fatigue & improve function in older adults with HIV?
Do Diet & Exercise Ease Symptoms in HIV?
Can a nurse-led intervention improve cardiovascular health in HIV?
