Abstract:The role of HIV in COVID-19 acquisition is not yet understood. Among 1862 patients, including 349 PLWHIV, most virally suppressed, and 308 recently using PrEP, we compared rates of positive PCR results. Positivity was higher among PLWHIV (10.6%) compared to HIV negative patients (7.1%) but not significant in adjusted models.
