The novel coronavirus 2019 illness (COVID-19) has completely transformed and uprooted lives across the globe. While different diseases, there are critical observations and lessons to be learned from the ongoing HIV epidemic to inform our response to COVID-19. We reflect on how this relates to (1) testing, including contact tracing; (2) health system redesign; (3) telehealth; (4) health disparities; (5) political denial, with inadequate and uncoordinated governmental response; (6) occupational exposure; and (7) complex reactions among healthcare providers. Decades of experiences with HIV provide an important framework for moving forward as we combat COVID-19.
2019 年新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)已彻底改变和颠覆了全球各地的生活。虽然是不同的疾病,但我们可以从正在发生的艾滋病毒流行中汲取关键的观察结果和经验教训,为我们应对 COVID-19 提供信息。我们反思了这与(1)检测,包括接触者追踪;(2)卫生系统重新设计;(3)远程医疗;(4)健康差距;(5)政治否认以及政府应对措施不足且不协调;(6)职业暴露;以及(7)医护人员的复杂反应有关。几十年来,我们在应对艾滋病毒方面积累了丰富的经验,这为我们抗击 COVID-19 提供了一个重要的框架。
