Abstract

Our data demonstrate that a considerable proportion of PLWH are insufficiently physically active. Future lifestyle interventions specifically targeting the prevention of physical inactivity in PLWH are warranted. Implications for Rehabilitation Many people living with HIV do not comply with general health recommendations. Physical activity counseling should be key in the rehabilitation of people living with HIV.
