UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima shares that there is currently no strong evidence that people living with HIV are at an especially increased risk of contracting COVID-19 or, that if they do contract it, they will experience a worse outcome. People living with HIV should take all recommended preventive measures to minimize exposure and prevent infection, and all countries should ensure that medication is available.
