Multicenter Study
Characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with HIV: a multicentre research network study.
We studied clinical outcomes of COVID-19 infection in patients living with HIV (PLH) in comparison to non-HIV population. ⋯ Crude COVID-19 mortality is higher in PLH; however, propensity-matched analyses revealed no difference in outcomes, showing that higher mortality is driven by higher burden of comorbidities. Early diagnosis and intensive surveillance are needed to prevent a 'Syndemic' of diseases in this vulnerable cohort.
