Coronavirus 2019 and People Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Outcomes for Hospitalized Patients in New York City

This study details the outcomes of persons living with HIV and COVID-19 in the New York City healthcare system
Persons involved with the study were identified through positive COVID-19 tests from 5 hospitals local to New York City
2% of patients, or 88 individuals, hospitalized with COVID-19 were persons with HIV
Most individuals were of Black or Hispanic descent
Most patients (58%) with both COVID-19 and HIV were assessed to have a CD4 level of less than 200 cells/mm³ upon admission
Recovery time of patients with HIV was seen to be only slightly faster than those without which may be attributed to regular usage of antiviral drugs
Overall, the conditions of most patients with comorbid HIV and COVID-19 who also had their HIV under control with antivirals had similar rates of death, continued hospitalization, and hospital discharge
However, patients with HIV due to organ transplantation saw significantly higher rates of mortality
