HIV in COVID-19

Unmasking COVID-19

In this episode, Dr. Pai answers questions specific to HIV in the context of COVID-19, including parallels between the two pandemics, repercussions of COVID-19 on patients with HIV and guidance for handling potential changes to antiretroviral regimens.

Questions:

From Peter Chin-Hong, MD, at the University of California, San Francisco:

"What are the parallels between the HIV and COVID-19 epidemic?"

"What lessons can we learn from the early response to HIV that can inform how we approach COVID-19?"

"Are HIV patients with COVID-19 doing worse? What information do we have?"

"What repercussions of COVID-19 will HIV patients have (mental illness, etc.)?"

From Jennifer Ross, PharmD, at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy:

"Many antiretroviral agents (e.g., l lopinavir/ritonavir, boosted darunavir), are being evaluated in clinical trials or are prescribed for off-label use for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. What additional considerations should be made when proposing a change in a patient’s antiretroviral regimen in the midst of COVID-19?"
