Abstract
Information on the characteristics and outcomes of HIV patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 coinfection was limited. This was a literature review that was conducted by searching, compiling, and analyzing various studies focusing on the characteristics and outcomes of HIV patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The findings of this study indicated that people living with HIV (PLWH) had a higher risk of hospitalization and poor outcomes. Hospitalized HIV patients with COVID-19 were more prevalent among males, the elderly, those with comorbidities, and those with low CD4 counts. Common signs and symptoms included fever, cough, dyspnea, and fatigue or myalgia. Patient outcomes could be unfavorable, especially if the patient was immunocompromised.
