Viral Suppression Trajectories Destabilized After Coronavirus Disease 2019 Among US People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis

Clin Infect Dis. 2024 Apr 10;78(4):991-994. doi: 10.1093/cid/ciad657.

Abstract

We examined changes in the proportion of people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) with virologic suppression (VS) in a multisite US cohort before and since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Overall, prior gains in VS slowed during COVID-19, with disproportionate impacts on Black PWH and PWH who inject drugs.

Keywords: HIV; Racial disparities; people who inject drugs; post-COVID-19; virologic suppression.
