European countries are now facing the “second wave” of the COVID-19 epidemic, with increasing numbers of cases and deaths; hence, people with chronic conditions, including those living with HIV (PLWHIV), are struggling to maintain their routine disease management, resulting in missed medical visits and the risk of lower adherence to treatment. In our clinical center in Rome, Italy, we conducted a retrospective study aimed at observing how PLWHIV were followed-up during the “first wave” of the COVID-19 epidemic in the country and during the national lockdown from March 9 to May 28, 2020. We analyzed all treatment-experienced, virologically suppressed PLWHIV who had had at least one visit between March 10 and June 1, 2020, and collected viroimmunological parameters. We compared this group of PLWHIV with the patients observed over the same period in 2019. Our primary aim was to assess the rate of virological failures (VF, defined as two consecutive HIVRNA ≥ 50 copies/mL or a single HIV-RNA ≥ 1000 copies/mL). Predictors of VF were assessed using Cox regression analysis. Regarding the 2020 group, data from 341 patients were analyzed: 235 (68.9%) were males, with a median age of 54 years (Interquartile range = 46–60), a median time from HIV diagnosis of 16.1 years (IQR = 7.6–23.8), and a median time of virological suppression of 82.4 months (IQR = 31.1–142.9). With regard to antiretroviral therapy, 149 patients (43.7%) were on a 2NRTI+INI regimen, 74 (21.7%) were on 2NRTI+NNRTI, 70 (20.5%) were on a dual regimen with DTG+3 TC, 22 (6.5%) were on a regimen with 2NRTI+bPI, and 26 (7.6%) were on other regimens.

Real-life findings on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV care
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly reshaping the organization of healthcare systems worldwide, prompting the creation of COVID-19–dedicated wards and services at the expense of pre-existing structures. European countries are now facing the “second wave” of the COVID-19 epidemic, with increasing numbers of cases and deaths; hence, people with chronic conditions, including those living with HIV (PLWHIV), are struggling to maintain their routine disease management, resulting in missed medical visits and the risk of lower adherence to treatment.
