HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system. Moreover, it can lead to acquired autoimmune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) if not treated. Therefore we explore the relationship with the coronavirus in this post. Let’s find out how COVID-19 affects people with HIV/AIDS, and see what we can learn.
Dealing With an Emerging, Rapidly Evolving Situation
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirms most people with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, and recover rapidly. But it’s still important to have a test, and then isolate for ten to fourteen days if we have an infection. However, if we become seriously ill, and maybe have difficulty breathing then we should call universal emergency number 911 right away.
That’s why HHS recommends people living with HIV/AIDS have the full vaccine if they are moderately to severely immuno compromised. And also have the booster shot too after the recommended interval in accordance national priorities. Here’s more information from CDC’s FAQ’s to help you decide what’s right for you, or your friend or family member.
1…People with HIV may be more likely to become severely ill from COVID-19.
2…The clinical trials and the approvals that followed include people living with HIV/AIDS.
3… HIV/AIDS medication should continue during the COVID pandemic to resist infection.
4… Full vaccination may not provide complete protection for people with HIV/AIDS.
3… There is no evidence to date that HIV medication helps resist the COVID-19 disease.
Spread the Truth: COVID-19 Affects People Living with HIV/AIDS
Centers for Disease Control emphasizes how important it is to fight stigma and misinformation about COVID-19. Moreover, people living with HIV/AIDS face the same difficult situation too. Now we understand how COVID-19 affects people with HIV/AIDS, let’s join the counter movement. Let’s spread the truth about both these pandemics.
