Abstract: While physical activity can mitigate the metabolic effects of HIV disease and HIV medications, many HIV-infected persons report low levels of physical activity. Purpose: To determine if there were differences between the subjective and objective assessments of physical activity while controlling for sociodemographic, anthropometric, and clinical characteristics. Setting/sample: A total of 810 participants across eight sites located in three countries. Measures: Subjective instruments were the two subscales of Self-efficacy for Exercise Behaviors Scale: Making Time for Exercise and Resisting Relapse and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System, which measured physical function. The objective measure of functional exercise capacity was the 6-minute Walk Test. Analysis: Both univariate and multivariant analyses were used. Results: Physical function was significantly associated with Making Time for Exercise (β = 1.76, p  = .039) but not with Resisting Relapse (β = 1.16, p  = .168). Age (β = −1.88, p  = .001), being employed (β = 16.19, p
