The main aim of this study was to find out the effects of 6 weeks moderate intensity aerobic exercises on CD4 count, bone mineral density and weight of people living with HIV/AIDS in Alex-Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Ebonyi State. The study adopted experimental research design. The study was carried out form year 2019-February 2020. The population of the study was 40 HIV/AIDS patients that attended HIV clinics at AE-FUTHA which formed the sample size after two subjects declined from the control group in the study. Simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. Flowcytometery (Partec Cyflow counter) Germany, Heel Densitometer (X-rite 331C), and Omron BF 400 were the instrument used for data collection of CD4 counts, BMD and weight respectively. Mean, standard deviation and ANCOVA were used to analyze the data obtained. The instruments were not validated because they are standard. The reliability coefficient obtained from the pilot study was 0.848, 0.835 and 0.994 for CD4, BMD and WEIGHT respectively. The major findings revealed that MIAE had positive effect on CD4 counts and BMD but negative effect on weight.
