Ada Adimora<\/a>, MD, MPH, the Sarah Graham Kenan Distinguished Professor of Medicine in the division of infectious diseases, expressed concern in an interview with Healio Infectious Disease News<\/a>, about the lack of studies regarding the specific impact of effect of COVID-19 in people living with HIV (PLWH).<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople with well-controlled HIV have an\u00a0excellent prognosis<\/a> from an HIV standpoint,” Admiora said. But she recognizes that many people with HIV in the U.S. are aging and have a lot of related comorbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and chronic lung disease, and these conditions increase the severity and mortality of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Adimora, who is also professor of epidemiology in the Gillings School of Public Health, notes that “one\u2019s living situation and occupation are also important factors to consider in regard to the risk for COVID-19 in PLWH.”<\/p>\n
