The incidence and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among HIV-positive persons receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) have not been characterized in large populations.
To describe the incidence and severity of COVID-19 by nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) use among HIV-positive persons receiving ART.
Cohort study.
HIV clinics in 60 Spanish hospitals between 1 February and 15 April 2020.
77 590 HIV-positive persons receiving ART.
Estimated risks (cumulative incidences) per 10 000 persons and 95% CIs for polymerase chain reaction-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and death. Risk and 95% CIs for COVID-19 diagnosis and hospital admission by use of the NRTIs tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC), tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)/FTC, abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine (3TC), and others were estimated through Poisson regression models.
Of 77 590 HIV-positive persons receiving ART, 236 were diagnosed with COVID-19, 151 were hospitalized, 15 were admitted to the ICU, and 20 died. The risks for COVID-19 diagnosis and hospitalization were greater in men and persons older than 70 years. The risk for COVID-19 hospitalization was 20.3 (95% CI, 15.2 to 26.7) among patients receiving TAF/FTC, 10.5 (CI, 5.6 to 17.9) among those receiving TDF/FTC, 23.4 (CI, 17.2 to 31.1) among those receiving ABC/3TC, and 20.0 (CI, 14.2 to 27.3) for those receiving other regimens. The corresponding risks for COVID-19 diagnosis were 39.1 (CI, 31.8 to 47.6), 16.9 (CI, 10.5 to 25.9), 28.3 (CI, 21.5 to 36.7), and 29.7 (CI, 22.6 to 38.4), respectively. No patient receiving TDF/FTC was admitted to the ICU or died.
Residual confounding by comorbid conditions cannot be completely excluded.
HIV-positive patients receiving TDF/FTC have a lower risk for COVID-19 and related hospitalization than those receiving other therapies. These findings warrant further investigation in HIV preexposure prophylaxis studies and randomized trials in persons without HIV.

在接受抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)的艾滋病毒阳性人群中,冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)的发病率和严重程度尚未在大规模人群中得到描述。
描述接受 ART 的艾滋病毒阳性人群中使用核苷(酸)逆转录酶抑制剂(NRTI)的 COVID-19 的发病率和严重程度。
队列研究。
2020 年 2 月 1 日至 4 月 15 日期间,西班牙 60 家医院的 HIV 诊所。
77590 名接受 ART 的艾滋病毒阳性者。
每 10000 人估计的聚合酶链反应(PCR)确诊 COVID-19 诊断、住院、重症监护病房(ICU)入院和死亡的风险(累积发生率)和 95%CI。通过泊松回归模型估计使用富马酸替诺福韦二吡呋酯(TDF)/恩曲他滨(FTC)、替诺福韦艾拉酚胺(TAF)/FTC、阿巴卡韦(ABC)/拉米夫定(3TC)和其他 NRTI 的 COVID-19 诊断和住院风险及其 95%CI。
在 77590 名接受 ART 的艾滋病毒阳性者中,有 236 人被诊断患有 COVID-19,151 人住院,15 人入住 ICU,20 人死亡。男性和年龄大于 70 岁的患者 COVID-19 诊断和住院的风险更高。接受 TAF/FTC 的患者 COVID-19 住院的风险为 20.3(95%CI,15.2 至 26.7),接受 TDF/FTC 的患者为 10.5(CI,5.6 至 17.9),接受 ABC/3TC 的患者为 23.4(CI,17.2 至 31.1),接受其他方案的患者为 20.0(CI,14.2 至 27.3)。COVID-19 诊断的相应风险为 39.1(CI,31.8 至 47.6)、16.9(CI,10.5 至 25.9)、28.3(CI,21.5 至 36.7)和 29.7(CI,22.6 至 38.4)。没有接受 TDF/FTC 的患者入住 ICU 或死亡。
无法完全排除合并症引起的残余混杂因素。
接受 TDF/FTC 的艾滋病毒阳性患者 COVID-19 风险及其相关住院治疗风险低于接受其他治疗的患者。这些发现值得在 HIV 暴露前预防研究和无 HIV 人群的随机试验中进一步研究。
