COVID-19 Impact on Reproduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to lead to serious negative health outcomes for people living with HIV (PLWH).Besides the risk of COVID-19 disease itself, the indirect effects of the pandemic including shelter-in-place orders, record unemployment, and widespread social anxiety may interact synergistically to worsen health outcomes for PLWH [1,2].In this report, we share the experience from University of Chicago Medicine regarding the early impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PLWH in regards to retention in care, antiretroviral adherence, and COVID-19 testing and clinical outcomes.
