Comparative analyses of COVID-19 in-hospital mortality in people with HIV during SARS-CoV-2 pre-Delta, Delta, and Omicron waves
Although in-hospital mortality among HIV-negative individuals declined markedly during the Omicron wave, reduction in PWH was less pronounced, leading to a relatively higher mortality risk for this group. These findings highlight the need for adherence to WHO recommendations on booster vaccinations and therapeutics for populations at elevated risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes, including PWH.
