Coronavirus Disease Outcomes in HIV/AIDS Patients

 

Introduction


HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) - the virus which attacks people for a long time to death, caused by sexual contact, blood transferring, or through breastfeeding from an HIV+ mother to the baby. 


‘Coronavirus/COVID-19’- the word which shook the world over the years. This COVID-19 transports the life of people into hell; lakhs of people died, and many lost their jobs, food, and shelter. This Coronavirus shows its impact on normal people and people already suffering a lot in their life-mean HIV patients.


Here, in this article, let us discuss the outcomes in HIV patients who have Coronavirus/COVID-19 attacks and the vaccination process of HIV patients regardless of the stage. 


What are the Outcomes of Coronavirus in HIV Patients? 


  • According to medical studies and research, the COVID-19 symptoms don't severely impact HIV patients in the advanced stage( CD4 count is low).  

  • Compared to their HIV-negative counterparts, the primary outcome was susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 among PLWHA.

  • The secondary outcome was the mortality risk of COVID-19/coronavirus patients with HIV compared to COVID-19 patients without HIV.

  • The severe COVID-19 outcome is PWH, which appears to be at higher risk, even after considering demographic factors and comorbidities.

  • PWH appears at higher risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes even after considering demographic factors and comorbidities associated with severe disease. 

  • Some medical research showed contradictory results about HIV patients with COVID-19 symptoms. The main reason for these contradictory results is the scarcity of existing literature and evidence inconsistency.

  • The HIV patients with advanced stage or CD4 count greater than 500 experienced moderate severity medical outcomes.

  • On the other hand, HIV patients with a CD4 count of less than 500 experienced severe clinical issues or outcomes. 



Do COVID-19 vaccines safe for people with HIV?


  • COVID-19 vaccines are safe for HIV persons. According to clinical studies and research, no evidence exists that COVID-19 vaccines don't affect HIV people who are under or going to get treatment. 

  • Instead, COVID-19 vaccines meet the Food and Drug Administration’s scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing qualities.

  • COVID-19 vaccines are safer for all people under 6 months or older. Regardless of CD4 count, HIV patients should get vaccinated. 

  • After completing the primary series of COVID-19 vaccines, the HIV person should get an additional primary shot and a booster shot after 2 months of the last dose.

  • This additional primary shot improves the body's immune system to respond to the 2-dose COVID-19 vaccine series.

  • CDC( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) doesn’t recommend an additional primary shot of the COVID-19 vaccine for people with HIV /who do have an advanced stage.


Conclusion


Finally, we can say that coronavirus/COVID-19 shows less severe symptoms in HIV persons. But regular vaccination can save the HIV person by not getting underlying to death by Coronavirus.
