Over the past year, studies have revealed that certain pre-existing conditions, such as cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure, can increase a person’s risk of dying from COVID-19. New research shows that individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)—an estimated 38 million worldwide, according to the World Health Organization—have an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and fatal outcomes from COVID-19.
