Researchers examined data on 88 HIV patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at New York City-based Mount Sinai Health System between March 12 and April 23.
They found no significant difference in adverse outcomes between patients with HIV and other COVID-19 patients when matching for age, sex or race/ethnicity.
Eighteen percent of patients with HIV required mechanical ventilation, and 21 percent died, compared to 23 percent and 20 percent of demographically similar COVID-19 patients, respectively.
There was also no difference in COVID-19 severity upon hospital admission between the two patient groups.
