\n

Overall, median age was 53 years, 35% were women, 47% Black or African American. The median CD4 count 649 cells\/mm<\/span>3<\/span><\/sup>, and 97% with HIV undetectable viral load (<400 copies\/mL). <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of the 2,464 participant included, 318 had either SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (260\/318), without previous vaccination and 58\/318 had were diagnosed clinically.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
