Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Feasibility
Time Frame: At day zero of the study and after 12 weeks of intervension.
To develop and establish the feasibility of home-exercise(HOME-EX)in HIV positive subjects as evaluated by measuring exercise adherence and acceptability, exercise intensity and adverse events. We hypothesize that HOME-EX is a feasible and safe intervention for HOA.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Autonomy(At day zero of the study and after 12 weeks of intervension.)
- Change in Efficacy(At day zero of the study and after 12 weeks of intervension.)
