English edition updated June 2021. Data are emerging on the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 among people living with HIV. People living with HIV appear to be at an increased risk of more severe outcomes from COVID-19 compared with other people. People living with HIV should be vaccinated against COVID-19, regardless of their CD4 or viral load, because the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. People living with HIV should be included in the category of high-risk medical conditions when developing vaccine priority. Importantly, when administering vaccines to people living with HIV, confidentiality about their underlying condition should be preserved.
