Introduction Physical Activity (PA) and its links to frailty, quality of life (QoL), and other comorbidities in older Ugandans living with HIV remain under-explored. Methods We analyzed data from three annual assessments of older people living with HIV (PLWH) and age- and sex-similar people not living with HIV (PnLWH). We fitted linear generalized estimating equations (GEE) regression models to estimate the correlates of PA, including demographics, frailty, QoL, HIV, and other comorbidities. Results We enrolled 297 PLWH and 302 PnLWH. Older age (b = −157.34, 95% CI [-222.84, −91.83]), living with HIV (b = −979.88 [95% CI: −1878.48, −81.28]), frailty (b = −3011.14 [95% CI: −4665.84, −1356.45]), and comorbidities (b = −2501.75 [95% CI: −3357.44, −1646.07]) were associated with lower overall PA. Higher general QoL (b = 89.96 [95% CI: 40.99, 138.94]) was associated with higher PA. Conclusion PA interventions may support wellbeing of older people in the region, and tailored interventions should be explored
