COVID-19 impacted the quality of life of people including those living with HIV and considered areas include assessing:

Impact of (Long) COVID for people living with HIV e.g. access to treatment
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for people contracting HIV during the COVID-19 pandemic
Impact of COVID-19 on HIV communities e.g. less peer to peer support
Pre-existing health inequalities unmasked by COVID undermining HRQoL
Implications of new models of care e.g. less face-to-face time due to reduced availability of routine HIV care

COVID-19 and AIDS/HIV are both infectious diseases causing global pandemics, with similarities worthy of assessment.

Symptom Management: fatigue and mental health challenges
Public health information: prevention, screening, and diagnosis

HIV Outcomes aims to explore if learnings from the holistic treatment offered to people living with HIV provide lessons for living with Long COVID.
