Study Summary

Randomized control pilot 12 week feeding trial to compare the preliminary effects of ketogenic diet (versus patient choice diet) on HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment. N = 20 (n = 10/10) randomized to diet condition. Pilot data necessary to evaluate the feasibility and determine initial data for primary outcomes in order to accurately determine needed sample size for larger clinical trial. Outcomes: 1) cognition (NIH Toolkit), 2) cardiometabolic markers (insulin glucose, insulin resistance, markers of inflammation), and 3) neural activity (as determined by functional MRI..
