Abstract
At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is still at its peak with an expanding global activity, patients with HIV infection have always been a worrying population because, with a chronic disease causing immune system depletion, they are at high risk for serious diseases and poor prognosis. However, although there are no large studies directed at this population yet published both in terms of incidences and mortality that compare them with the non-HIV population.
