Abstract

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this review is to use the currently available clinical and epidemiological data, to identify key aspects to improve both the clinical management and public health response to SARS-CoV-2/HIV co-infection among HIV vulnerable populations and people living with HIV (PLWH).

Recent Findings

While at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of robust information on SARS-CoV-2/HIV co-infection, prevented a clear picture of the synergies between them, currently available data strongly support the importance of common structural factors on both the acquisition and clinical impact of these infections and the relevance of age, comorbidities, and detectable HIV viral load as associated worse prognostic factors among PLWH.

Summary

Although more information is needed to better understand the biological, clinical, and epidemiological relationship between both infections, a syndemic approach to prevent SARS-CoV-2 among HIV high-risk groups and PLWH, targeting these populations for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and protocolizing early identification of PLWH with worse COVID-19 prognosis factors, is crucial strategies to decrease the overall impact of SARS-CoV-2 /HIV co-infection.

Lancet HIV. This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in 54 individuals with HIV. The conclusions were that in virologically suppressed white men on ART and more than 350 cells/mm3, the magnitude and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific humoral or cellular responses at short term (2 months) were similar to that seen in HIV-negative participants. In addition, vaccination was safe without any serious adverse events.
