In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Vitor Oliveira, an acting instructor at the University of Washington School of Nursing and an exercise scientist dedicated to improving the physical function and quality of life of people living with HIV. Dr. Oliveira’s personal and professional journey is deeply intertwined, having discovered he was HIV-positive at just 21. This life-changing moment fueled his passion for research and advocacy, driving him to focus on the relationship between HIV and physical function, and how exercise interventions can improve health outcomes for others living with the virus, particularly marginalized populations who often lack access to quality healthcare and resources.
Dr. Oliveira completed his master’s and doctoral degrees in kinesiology in his native Brazil, and today he leads research efforts in the U.S., including the PROSPER-HIV and HEALTH studies.
Join us as Dr. Oliveira opens up about his personal journey with HIV, his dedication to research, and his mission to help others thrive. Plus, he shares how his love for volleyball, outdoor adventures, and travel keep him balanced beyond the lab.
