Abstract
Metabolic abnormalities are increasingly reported among persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection,1,2 which may lead to increased cardiovascular risk among this population.1,3,4 The Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines place strong emphasis on primary prevention of coronary heart disease and highlight the importance of increased physical activity and therapeutic lifestyle modification in people with risk factors for cardiovascular disease5 To our knowledge, fitness levels and the effects of a combined aerobic and progressive resistance training program have not been investigated exclusively in the growing population of HIV-infected women.Keywords
