JAKARTA – Both attack the body’s immunity, the COVID-19 virus and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) clearly have differences, even though they both attack the immune system or the immune system.

The COVID-19 virus in two weeks will usually disappear, while the HIV virus takes 5 to 10 years for people with HIV to enter AIDS.

Let’s comment further on the HIV virus

HIV attacks the immune system or the body’s immunity so that the body’s defenses decrease and are susceptible to disease and infection. Meanwhile, AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a symptom caused by a decreased immune system caused by HIV itself.

Transmission can occur through bodily fluids, vaginal fluids caused by risky sex such as heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual, through blood, through blood transfusions or use of HIV-contaminated needles that are used alternately, through HIV-infected mothers, through the placenta during pregnancy and during the breastfeeding process (baby bite on the nipple resulting in injury), another cause is the result of sexual violence committed by people living with HIV.

What about people with HIV, if infected with COVID-19?

People living with HIV are very easily infected with COVID-19, because their immune systems are very weak.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, PLWHA (People With HIV-AIDS) who have a potential vulnerability to being infected with the COVID-19 Virus are given infection prevention and control services because of the comorbidities / comorbidities commonly found in PLWHA and will exacerbate the risk of death of PLWHA if exposed to the virus COVID-19, the service itself is carried out in accordance with infection control precautions standards.
