VASQUEZ-VELASQUEZ, Cinthya et al. Follow-up of HIV patients during the Covid-19 pandemic in Callao region, Peru. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2024, vol.35, n.2, pp.91-95. Epub 28-Jun-2024. ISSN 1018-130X. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v35i2.4989.
The prompt diagnosis of HIV is a clue for starting anti-retroviral treatment (ART). Viral load determination and other immunologic parameters are essential for evaluating the prognosis and follow-up of these patients.
Objective:
To evaluate viral load and CD4 cell count determinations in HIV residents of Callao during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
a cohort study of 289 adult HIV patients living in Callao was implemented. The student’s t-test was used to evaluate paired samples; a p-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results:
HIV patients who received ART had a reduction in viral load and an increase in CD4 counts.
Conclusion:
The management of HIV patients in Callao has been successful.
