Studying frailty in older adults living with HIV
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at frailty (feeling weak, having trouble with daily activities, or losing strength) in people age 50 and older who are living with HIV. It may help researchers understand frailty in HIV and how to better support older adults.

This trial studies how the bacteria in your gut (“microbiome”) relate to frailty (weakness/low physical resilience) in people with HIV who are stably doing well on treatment. It may help researchers understand why some people become frail and how the gut may play a role.
This study measures how older adults’ muscles use energy and how easily they tire during activity. It includes both people with HIV (with stable treatment and an undetectable viral load) and people without HIV to better understand differences in fatigue.
This study tests whether high-intensity exercise can help improve thinking and memory, and build lasting exercise habits, in older adults living with HIV who feel tired and are not very active.
This study looks at what makes some people with HIV become “pre-frail” or frail as they get older. It uses questionnaires and other checks to understand challenges to healthy aging and may help improve future support and care.
This study looks at how frailty (weakness) and other age-related health issues affect older adults living with HIV in West Africa. By comparing those with and without HIV, researchers hope to better understand the care needs of this group.
This study aims to help people with HIV between the ages of 65 and 75 stay healthy and avoid becoming frail as they age. It tests a program to prevent frailty and see if it works.
