title: The transtheoretical model and exercise among individuals living with HIV.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the distribution of the stages of change for exercise among individuals living with HIV as well as to identify the differences between the transtheoretical model (TTM) constructs.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cross-sectional self-report data were collected from 208 individuals accessing HIV-related care services.
  
  
  RESULTS
  More than half of the sample was in the action and maintenance stages, indicating a higher level of physical activity in this sample than the general population. Furthermore, the patterns of the TTM constructs across stages were consistent with past research.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Stage-matched TTM interventions can be developed for individuals living with HIV.
