A retrospective cohort study of 4,613 patients positive for SARS-CoV-2 admitted to a hospital in New York City between March 10 and May 11, 2020 found that people living with HIV had increased risk of intubation (aHR=1.73) but similar rates of acute kidney injury and in-hospital death as those without HIV. Most patients were either non-Hispanic Black (36%) or Hispanic (37%), and 2% were living with HIV (n=100), among whom 15 had a detectable HIV viral load.
