Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Depression in people living with HIV is associated with worse care engagement, drug adherence, and higher rates of pre-mature mortality. The prevalence of depression is three times greater in those with HIV than comparable controls. While antiretroviral therapy (ART) enables immune reconstitution, those with depression do worse clinically than those without depression even when controlling for HIV stage. However, treating depression in HIV-infected persons is challenging. Even among those virologically suppressed on ART, a significant percentage are resistant to standard pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy for depression. The reasons for this are complex and poorly understood. An emerging body of evidence indicates that inflammation may perpetuate depression. Given people with HIV have ongoing increased inflammation, this could help explain part of why depression rates are so high in people with HIV. Treatments for HIV-associated depression would likely be more effective if they were anti- inflammatory in nature. One possible treatment is exercise. Exercise is acutely pro-inflammatory due to catabolism but in the long term is anti-inflammatory. However, few studies have investigated exercise as a treatment for HIV-associated depression. The study objective is to perform a feasibility study to evaluate a larger trial evaluating the efficacy of exercise as an intervention for depression in people with HIV.
