In the last 5 decades, we have witnessed two major pandemics, AIDS caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the CoronaVirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The emergence of COVID-19 has raised many concerns for researchers, doctors, patients, and other institutions associated with HIV. A lot of debate has persisted on clinical outcomes, the use of antiretrovirals, and vaccines on HIV patients infected with COVID-19. This note attempts to present different aspects of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 across themes like SARS-CoV-2 coinfections in people living with HIV, the psychological impact, treatments, vaccination, etc. We highlight how learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic can help us in tackling the HIV pandemic.
在过去的50年里，我们目睹了两次重大的全球大流行，即由人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）引起的艾滋病和由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引起的冠状病毒病-19（COVID-19）。COVID-19的出现引起了研究人员、医生、患者以及其他与HIV相关机构的诸多关注。对于感染COVID-19的HIV患者的临床结局、抗逆转录病毒药物的使用以及疫苗接种等问题，一直存在很多争论。本报告试图从HIV和SARS-CoV-2的不同方面展开阐述，涵盖诸如HIV感染者中的SARS-CoV-2合并感染、心理影响、治疗、疫苗接种等主题。我们强调从COVID-19大流行中汲取的经验教训如何能帮助我们应对HIV大流行。
