 AB    Decreased physical endurance is viewed by both HIV-infected people and
       their primary nurses as a major healthcare problem. There is a
       widespread belief among HIV-infected people that the way to improve
       their endurance is through exercise. Yet healthcare providers are
       divided about the role of exercise. This paper presents an overview of
       decreased endurance as a major problem in this population, with a review
       of the literature on exercise in healthy and chronically-ill
       populations, including those with HIV infection, and its effect on
       immune function.
