Brief Summary
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) can have subtle but important effects on the brain, leading to difficulties in memory, concentration, or problem solving. Goal-setting interventions have been shown to help individuals maintain their physical activity in order to improve brain health. The study objective is to estimate the extent to which goal management training before a personalized healthy lifestyle program is associated with greater adherence to health recommendations, achievement of health-related goals, and better brain health and general health outcomes compared to the healthy lifestyle program alone. Participants will be randomized to either Goal Management Training (GMT) and a Healthy Lifestyle Program (HLP) or the control group (HLP alone).

Study Arms (2)
GMT Intervention + Health Lifestyle Program
EXPERIMENTALThe intervention group will participate in GMT, a standardized cognitive rehabilitation program which will be given as per the manual and which consists of 9 sessions each 2-hours in duration. They will also participate in the Healthy Lifestyle Program (HLP), which includes physical activity monitoring (step count, calories burned and sleep) with the Garmin vívofit 4 Activity Tracker, and recording and monitoring of goals with the My Goals app. Moreover, participants will be offered an exercise program with weaning to community-based resources and home exercise recommendations for longer-term sustainability.
Health Lifestyle Program
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe control group enters directly into the HLP without any other study visits. The HLP includes physical activity monitoring (step count, calories burned and sleep) with the Garmin vívofit 4 Activity Tracker, and recording and monitoring of goals with the My Goals app. Moreover, participants will be offered an exercise program with weaning to community-based resources and home exercise recommendations for longer-term sustainability.
Interventions
9-week goal-management program
