• Dandachi et al. found that the severe clinical outcomes of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and death occurred commonly in patients with both HIV and COVID-19 (n=286) enrolled from inpatient and outpatient health facilities in the US and three international sites. The risk for poor outcomes was higher in older patients, those with comorbidities (chronic lung disease, hypertension), and lower CD4 cell counts, despite HIV viral suppression. Within 30 days of positive SARS-CoV-2 testing, 57% of patients were hospitalized and 17% required ICU admission. Overall, 9% of patients died.
