From UndarkMag: Keeping those with weakened immune systems safe truly helps all of us.
last October demonstrated that patients with uncontrolled HIV/AIDS also carry increased risk of variant generation. In one such patient, SARS-CoV-2 was able to replicate and mutate for weeks, ultimately acquiring mutations associated with resistance to immune neutralization.
”—treating HIV to also block transmission via viral load suppression—may be doubly important for HIV patients during the pandemic, as it can reduce the harm from two viruses instead of one.The strategies for minimizing the risk of COVID-19 variant creation among patients with uncontrolled HIV/AIDS look much different than they do for transplant recipients, cancer patients, and people with autoimmune disorders.
As a physician who has cared for patients with COVID-19 in the clinic, hospital, and ICU, I understand all too well the acute threat COVID-19 poses to immunocompromised patients. And I also understand that the accumulating evidence is clear: If we care about reducing the risk of the next deadly SARS-CoV-2 variant, it is imperative that we do all we can to protect the immunocompromised. By doing what we can to save them, we just might also spare the world.
