Investigators will conduct a randomized pilot study with 50 overweight or obese patients who are HIV+, are recruited from the Miriam Hospital Immunology Center, and are interested in losing weight. These patients will be randomly assigned to a 12 week behavioral weight loss program delivered via the Internet or to a 12 week education only control group (also Internet based). Primary aims of this study are 1) to determine whether an Internet program is appropriate for this patient population, assessed by the success of recruiting 50 patients for the trial and their level of adherence over the 12 weeks, 2) to compare weight losses at the end of the 12 week program for program for patients randomized to the Internet behavioral weight reduction program (WT LOSS) relative to the Internet education program (CONTROL), 3) to compare the efficacy of the WT LOSS program relative to CONTROL for improving lipids (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides), metabolic measures (fasting blood sugar, insulin), and inflammatory markers (IL-6, C-reactive protein, adiponectin), and 4) to compare the changes in dietary intake and physical activity from baseline to 12 weeks in the WT LOSS and CONTROL conditions. Investigators will also store blood for later analysis of other adipokines (leptin) and biomarkers of microbial gut translocation (e.g., sCD14). These will provide important pilot data for future NIH funding related to both the implementation of weight loss programs and the effect of weight loss on the co-morbidities in this population.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Recruited from the Miriam Hospital Immunology Center\n* HIV+ with a CD4 count \\>200 and an undetectable viral load\n* BMI greater than 27 kg/m2\n* No health problems that make weight loss or unsupervised exercise unsafe\n* English speaking\n* Have access to a computer and the Internet\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Report a heart condition, chest pain during periods of activity or rest, or loss of consciousness on the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire\n* Active substance abuser\n* Currently pregnant or intend to become pregnant in the next 6 months\n* Planning to move outside of the state within the next 6 months\n* Have participated in a study conducted by the Weight Control \\& Diabetes Research Center in the past 2 years'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02421406', 'briefTitle': 'An Internet-based Behavioral Weight Loss Program for HIV+ Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'The Miriam Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'An Internet-based Behavioral Weight Loss Program for HIV+ Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2P30AI042853-16', 'link': 'https://reporter.nih.gov/quickSearch/2P30AI042853-16', 'type': 'NIH'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'P30AI042853', 'link': 'https://reporter.nih.gov/quickSearch/P30AI042853', 'type': 'NIH'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Internet Behavioral Intervention', 'description': 'Participants receive a 12-week Internet-based eating and activity intervention including multimedia lessons and enhanced self-monitoring of weight loss behaviors with automated feedback', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Internet Behavioral Intervention']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Internet Education Intervention', 'description': 'Participants receive 12 weekly Internet-based weight loss lessons containing information for modification of diet and activity behaviors, but not behavioral strategies for changing these behaviors.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Internet Education Intervention']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Internet Behavioral Intervention', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'A series of 12 multi-media lessons will be accessible to participants on their own computers.
