Abstract We describe four people living with HIV (PLHIV) who acquired acute hepatitis A (HAV) infection during recent King County, WA outbreaks despite documented immunity and/or vaccination. HAV revaccination may be needed in PLHIV with risk factors for HAV infection regardless of pre-existing immunity.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in nearly 8 million cases and close to 500,000 deaths globally. Little is known about risk factors for favorable or adverse outcomes from COVID-19 among people living with HIV (PWH). Small case series have described outcomes for hospitalized PWH with COVID19. Methods This is a retrospective chart review of PWH with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 from 2 HIV ambulatory clinics from March 1 to May 31, 2020 in a large urban academic center that serves a substantial proportion of underserved minorities. Data on demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes were abstracted using a standardized data collection tool. Bivariate analysis was performed to identify correlates of hospitalization. Results Among the clinic cohort of 1469 PWH, 94 (6.4%) were tested for SARS-CoV-2 and 40 (42.5%) were positive. Fifty-percent were women, 65% were 50 years and older, 65% were black, 65% were former or active smokers, and 40% were active alcohol or substance users. The majority (90%) were on ART and 87.5% had HIV viral suppression (< 50 copies/ml). Among comorbidities, 50% had hypertension, 42.5% chronic lung disease, 42.5% cardiovascular disease (CVD), 40% obesity, 27.5% diabetes (DM), and 20% chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hospitalization occurred in 19 patients (47.5%) and of those, 4 (21%) required escalation of care. The median length of stay was 12 days (IQR5.5–15.5) and there was no inpatient mortality. Among the 12 PWH who had HIV viral load test during hospitalization, 11 (91.7%) maintained viral suppression and none of the 19 patients had ART interruption. Those who were hospitalized were more likely to be >50 years old (p=0.02); have CVD (p=0.003), DM (p=0.01), and CKD (p=0.02); or have multiple comorbidities (p=0.007) compared to those managed as outpatients. Furthermore, incremental numbers of comorbidities were associated with hospitalization (p=0.009). A history of AIDS, black race, obesity, smoking, and substance use disorders were not associated with hospitalization or adverse outcome. Conclusion In this initial and to our knowledge largest cohort in an urban academic center, PWH with COVID-19 had favorable short-term outcomes. The risk factors associated with hospitalization were older age and multiple non-HIV related comorbidities. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures
