Understanding the clinical impact of COVID-19 has been central to emerging research in the HIV field, but in focusing on the biomedical, researchers must not overlook the socially embedded nature of HIV and the potential social impacts of this new pandemic on PLHIV. We conducted a scoping review to explore emerging research examining the social impacts of COVID-19 on PLHIV in OECD countries over the first 12 months of the pandemic. Twenty articles were identified and included for review. Key themes included: impacts on HIV care access/telehealth; stress and mental health; social isolation and loneliness; food insecurity; changes to sexual behaviour; changes to substance use; impacts on income, education and employment; and racial and social inequality. Results from this review can help guide research into areas where it is needed to help minimise the negative social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
了解 COVID-19 的临床影响一直是 HIV 领域新兴研究的核心,但在关注生物医学的同时,研究人员不能忽视 HIV 的社会嵌入性质以及这一新的大流行对 HIV 感染者可能产生的社会影响。我们进行了一项范围综述,以探讨在 COVID-19 大流行的头 12 个月中,经合组织国家中出现的研究 HIV 感染者的社会影响的新兴研究。确定了 20 篇文章并进行了综述。主要主题包括:对 HIV 护理的影响/远程医疗;压力和心理健康;社会隔离和孤独;粮食不安全;性行为的变化;药物使用的变化;对收入、教育和就业的影响;以及种族和社会不平等。本综述的结果可以帮助指导需要的研究领域,以帮助将 COVID-19 大流行的负面影响降至最低。
