Tesamorelin and exercise for physical function in HIV
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding tesamorelin to an exercise program helps older adults with HIV improve their physical function and reduce belly fat. It is designed for people who are mostly sedentary and show early signs of frailty.
