Sexual and reproductive health needs of young women living with perinatally acquired HIV.

Background: Increasingly, young women living with perinatally acquired HIV (YWLPaHIV) have transitioned from paediatric to adult services. There remains a paucity of data on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of YWLPaHIV and their access to youth-friendly care. Amidst healthcare changes due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we explored SRH needs of a cohort of YWLPaHIV.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on viral suppression for young adults living with perinatally acquired HIV infection.

We compared virological and immunological outcomes for young adults with perinatally-acquired HIV infection (YAPaHIV) in the year preceding, and year of, UK SARS-CoV-2 lockdown restrictions, in a service that maintained face-to-face appointments. Retrospective single-centre cohort analysis from; Period 1(P1) twelve months before the first national lockdown - 23rd March 2019-23rd March 2020, period 2(P2) twelve months of varied restrictions - 24th March 2020-24th March 2021. Data collected from electronic records included age, ethnicity, sex, HIV viral load (VL) (suppression ≤ 200 copies/ml), CD4 count (cells/μL), clinical events, and appointment frequency/modality.
