Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Quality of life of people living with HIV is strongly affected by the presence of one or more symptoms, such as sleep problems, fatigue, muscle pain, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Autogenic training has shown positive effects on these symptoms in different populations, but there is very little evidence on the effects of this relaxation technique in people living with HIV.
