In brief

This study will develop and pilot test a qigong intervention with older people (50 and over) living with HIV. Participants (n=48) will be randomly assigned to one of 3 conditions: the qigong intervention, a sham qigong intervention, and a usual standard of care group. The study will determine the acceptability and feasibility of the study. If found effective, the qigong intervention will also improve the psychological and physical symptoms of older people living with HIV.
