    Abstract Since its first appearance in Wuhan, China, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread throughout the world and has become a global pandemic. Several medical comorbidities have been identified as risk factors for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, it remains unclear whether people living with human immunodefeciency virus (PLWH) are at an increased risk of COVID-19 and severe disease manifestation, with controversial suggestion that HIV-infected individuals could be protected from severe COVID-19 by means of antiretroviral therapy or HIV-related immunosuppression. Several cases of coinfection with HIV and SARS-CoV-2 have been reported from different parts of the globe. This review seeks to provide a holistic overview of SARS-CoV-2 infection in PLWH.

    Abstract Objective: As the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread globally, more human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients began to appear infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We aimed to evaluate the clinical course of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infected patients from a local perspective.
    Methods: HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infected patients diagnosed between March 2020 to June 2021 at a tertiary hospital in Turkey were analyzed retrospectively.
    Results: Thirty HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infected patients were included. Five patients were female, 25 were male, and the mean age was 44.5 ±10.2 years. Twenty-three (76.7%) patients were known to be HIV-positive before their admission to the hospital, and seven (23.7%) patients, were detected by screening after the diagnosis of COVID-19. All patients were known to be HIV-positive; they were on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and virologically suppressed. Twenty-seven patients had a mild course. Three patients were hospitalized, and of them, two patients had died. All hospitalized patients were male and were ART-naïve.
    Conclusion: HIV infection alone did not increase the severity of the course of COVID-19 and did not increase the mortality in COVID-19.

    Abstract Since its emergence in 2019 SARS-CoV-2 has proven to have a higher level of morbidity and mortality compared to the other prevailing coronaviruses. Although initially most African countries were spared from the devastating effect of SARS-CoV-2, at present almost every country has been affected. Although no association has been established between being HIV-1-infected and being more vulnerable to contracting COVID-19, HIV-1-infected individuals have a greater risk of developing severe COVID-19 and of COVID-19 related mortality. The rapid development of the various types of COVID-19 vaccines has gone a long way in mitigating the devastating effects of the virus and has controlled its spread. However, global vaccine deployment has been uneven particularly in Africa. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as Beta and Delta, which seem to show some subtle resistance to the existing vaccines, suggests COVID-19 will still be a high-risk infection for years. In this review we report on the current impact of COVID-19 on HIV-1-infected individuals from an immunological perspective and attempt to make a case for prioritising COVID-19 vaccination for those living with HIV-1 in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries like Malawi as one way of minimising the impact of COVID-19 in these countries.
