Sociodemographic, clinical, and immunological factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and severe COVID-19 outcomes in people living with HIV: a retrospective cohort study

HIV and SARS-CoV-2 Coinfections in Brazil in 2020: Epidemiological, Sociodemographic, and Clinical Characteristics of 36,746 Cases

“…Non-white PLWH were more susceptible to severe forms of COVID-19, whereas those with higher levels of education had a lower risk of developing severe COVID-19. These results are consistent with other studies that have indicated that PLWH with lower education levels, as well as those identified as mixed ethnicity, Hispanic, and especially black individuals, have a greater likelihood of progressing to severe COVID-19 21 , 28 . These disparities reflect the broader issues of socioeconomic inequality, lifestyle factors, and pre-existing health conditions that influence disease severity 29 .…”

Factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection among people living with HIV: Data from the Balearic cohort (EVHIA)

“…We observed that being from South America or MSM were possible risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. These results had been also described in previous reports [ 10 , 34 ]. Nevertheless, only MSM remained significant in our multivariate analyses, despite higher vaccine coverage.…”

“…In our study, tenofovir-based ART had no influence on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. CD4 count or HIV viral load didn’t show any association with SARS-CoV-2 infection either, in line with the previously mentioned studies [ 10 , 18 ].…”

COVID-19 Outcomes in a US Cohort of Persons Living with HIV (PLWH)

“…These findings are similar to those noted in the general HIV-seronegative population where known risk factors for hospitalization or severe disease include older age, or the presence of other comorbid disorders [57][58][59]. This is corroborated in other studies of PLWH with COVID-19 older PLWH or those with multiple comorbidities have more severe disease/worse outcomes [19,20,54,[60][61][62]. However, we did not observe more severe disease among ethnic/racial minorities as previously reported [14,60,63].…”
