The impact of Covid-19 on people living with HIV.

16 June, 16:00-17:00 CEST

There are unclear data about the association of HIV infection with the risk of death due to COVID-19. People living with HIV (PLWHIV) at any stage of infection are considered a risk group for COVID-19 vaccination in many countries.

This Journal Club aims to investigate the association between HIV infection and COVID-19 death and to discuss the prevention of infection in people living with HIV.
