Olive oil for heart health in people living with HIV
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding extra virgin olive oil to your diet can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, or other heart problems in people living with HIV. If you join, you'll be asked to follow a Mediterranean-style diet and take olive oil daily.
