H1 - Aerobic exercise will expect to experience significant increase on CD4 counts , reduced viral load , improve psycho-social well being among people living with HIV /AIDS.

Title - Effects of Aerobic Exercise on CD4(cluster of differentiation 4) count , Viral load and Selected Psycho-social Traits Among People Living with HIV/AIDS in Nekemte, Ethiopia

Human being have been challenged with different diseases from time to time. The cause of this diseases are virus , bacteria , fungi and etc. A diseases caused by virus , the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is very challenging to this century .

Exercise benefits may be include cytokine regulation, as is suggested in studies of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Aerobic exercise is one type of rehabilitation strategy that may be used to address disability, such as decreased strength and cardiovascular fitness for persons living with HIV . Exercise may also important to people living with virus because of its link to disease prevention and health promotion. Furthermore, aerobic exercise is creditable of attention because of its connection to body image, which has been shown to be important in certain populations affected by HIV.

The number of sample size is 58. Data analyses will perform with statical analysis for social science (SPSS) version 20. Descriptive data (means, standard deviations (SD) and standard error of the mean (SE), frequency, cross tabulation, charts) will calculate for all variables. The gender difference, viral load, CD4 count, data will analyze using simple t-test and analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The level of significance for all analyses will be set at P < 0.05.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Both female and male under ART
2. The distribution of HIV prevalence also varies by age peaking in the 30-40 years age group compared to the other (FDRE,2014) . Because of this the 30-40 will be selected.
