The overall goal of this study is to conduct an interventional pilot trial of mindfulness meditation and transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) to mitigate the symptoms and improved function in persons living with HIV (PLHIV) and painful neuropathy in the feet. . The investigators aim to determine the feasibility and effects of (1) mindfulness meditation or (2) transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) on clinical and functional outcomes in participants with HIV-associated painful distal sensory polyneuropathy in the feet. This aim will be achieved with a randomized control pilot trial with 3 groups: TENS group, Mindfulness Mediation Group, and Usual Treatment (Control) group. The interventions will be performed at home over a period of 6 weeks.
