HIV and particularly exposed to Corona
There is no evidence to suggest that people living with HIV are more vulnerable to corona infection than others.
However, the elderly and HIV-positive people who also have other diagnoses may be particularly at risk.
As things are moving very fast right now, Hiv-Danmark encourages you to follow the authorities’ recommendations, and you can see the instructions and the latest updates here: www.coronasmitte.dk
Researchers investigate the effect of vaccines on HIV-positive people
Are HIV-positive people as well protected as everyone else when they get vaccinated against Covid-19?
A group of researchers have set out to investigate this.
A team of professors and senior physicians in the Capital Region of Denmark are finding out how HIV-positive people react to the vaccine compared to others.
HIV-positive people are just one of several so-called risk groups with diagnoses that affect the immune system.
Therefore, the researchers are currently seeking HIV-positive participants to take part in their scientific research project.
The participants will have blood samples taken at Rigshospitalet seven times over 26 months – the first time is immediately after the first vaccination.
Participants do not go to the front of the vaccine queue.
You can sign up for the study from before the first vaccination until the second vaccination.
