Long-term symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection in a cohort of people living with HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our Hospital in Northern Italy assists 3817 people living with HIV (PLWH) and has faced the impact of COVID-19.

Methods

We performed a retrospective, observational study including all PLWH > 18 years registered in the Brescia Health Protection Agency database, assessing SARS-CoV-2 burden, vaccination status, socio-demographic, and viro-immunological parameters from February 2020 until May 2022.
