SPECIAL PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEILLANCE BULLETIN

This is the second special issue of our COVID-19 series. It details an analysis of HIV as a COVID-19 comorbidity using routine public sector patient data from South Africa’s Western Cape Province. Importantly, the data show that people living with HIV have a modestly elevated risk of poor COVID-19 outcomes, irrespective of viral suppression, and especially if they have other comorbidities.

As this is likely the largest assessment of SARS-CoV-2 and HIV co-infected patients to date, we trust that you will find this information especially useful and informative, given its public health importance. The authors, contributors and reviewers are thanked for their inputs.
