Inclusion
- HIV-positive
- Age \>=50 years on date of enrollment visit

- Receiving continuous antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least six months with an undetectable viral load at most recent clinic visit, or if not on ART then must have been off continuously for six months with no plan to start ART and have CD4 count \> 400 cells/µl (to avoid enrolling patients at risk of developing opportunistic infections or other HIV-associated illnesses).
Exclusion
- Medical conditions likely to limit the ability to participate in the planned exercise, including renal failure (creatinine \> 2 mg/dl, congestive heart failure, significant lung disease, or severe osteoarthritis, Any health condition(s) that the study physician determines would preclude safe participation in the intervention or may require special modification of the exercise protocol (e.g. angina or myocardial infarction in the past 6 months)
- Substantial deconditioning or current impairment of physical function; this will be tested for by assessing whether patients can climb up and back down one flight of stairs (approximately 3 meters of elevation gain) without stopping 8.
