Shocking: W-H-O Reveals More Detail About Covid-19 & HIV Infections

Published

A new report by the World Health Organisation (W-H-O) has confirmed that H-I-V infection is a significant independent risk factor for both severe and critical COVID-19 presentation at hospital admission and in-hospital mortality.

In a statement on the W-H-O website, quoted Director on Global H-I-V, Dr. MEG DOHERTY, that nearly a quarter of people living with H-I-V and who were hospitalised as a result of COVID-19 infection ended up dying.


This also means that people living with HIV, independent of their immune status, should be prioritised for vaccination in most settings.
