COVID-19: The Morbidity/Mortality Risk

In this issue:

Are PLWH at higher risk for increased mortality from COVID-19 infection? How important is it for PWLH to get vaccinated and boosted? Is breakthrough COVID-19 infection more likely to occur among PLWH? What about “long COVID” (PASC)?

Join Clinical Research Nurse Diane Kanjilal, manager of the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, as we discuss these questions in this eHIV Review podcast.

Learning objectives:

• Discuss recent research data evaluating COVID-19 mortality risk and vaccine immunogenicity in people living with HIV.
• Describe potential implications long COVID (PASC) may have on PLWH and the general public.
