Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study investigated the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on HIV patients, focusing on risk factors for respiratory failure (RF) among 177 participants aged over 18, diagnosed between March 2020 and April 2021.
- The study revealed that most patients were on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with 91.3% having an undetectable viral load; however, 25% experienced RF, and 31% developed bilateral pneumonia.
- Key risk factors for RF included older age and a CD4 count below 350 cells/μL, indicating that individuals with lower immune function are significantly more vulnerable to severe COVID-19 outcomes.
