RESUMEN
RESUMEN La pandemia por la COVID-19 y las medidas restrictivas de distanciamiento social pueden interactuar con la epidemia de VIH de múltiples formas. Existen aproximadamente 87 000 personas viviendo con VIH (PVV) en el Perú quienes están en riesgo de contraer la COVID-19; 67 000 de ellas que reciben tratamiento antirretroviral (TAR) podrían tener limitaciones en el acceso a sus medicamentos, comprometiendo su adherencia y su salud. Además, el efecto que podría tener la pandemia en la salud mental de PVV en Perú aún no está esclarecido. Este artículo tiene como finalidad describir las implicancias clínicas de la coinfección VIH/SARS-CoV-2; discutir los desafíos en la continuidad de atención de las PVV en el Perú durante la crisis sanitaria por la COVID-19; y comentar las posibles implicancias de las medidas restrictivas sobre la salud mental de las PVV.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic and societal response implemented may interact with the ongoing HIV epidemic in multiple ways. There are approximately 87000 people living with HIV (PLWH) who are at risk of developing COVID-19 in Peru and 67,000 of them are on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and at risk of limitations in their access to ART, compromising their adherence and their health during the pandemic. Finally, the potential effect of the pandemic on the mental health of PLWH is not documented. This opinion aims to describe the clinical implications of the HIV/SARS-CoV-2 coinfection; discuss the challenges to the continuity of care of PLWH in Peru during the COVID-19 crisis; and comment possible implications that the COVID-19 crisis may pose on the mental health of PLWH.
