The non-essential and non-urgent follow-up consultations of patients living with HIV were postponed or transformed into "teleconsultation" or exchanges of e-mails between practitioners and patients during COVID-19 epidemic. This change in care can have an impact on follow-up and access to treatment for PVVIH.
On 16 March 2020, an instruction to postpone "non-urgent" consultations was given to doctors. Thus, the non-essential and non-urgent follow-up consultations of patients living with HIV were postponed or transformed into "teleconsultation" or exchanges of e-mails between practitioners and patients. This change in care can have an impact on follow-up and access to treatment for PVVIH. In addition, the epidemic itself may have consequences: PVVIH may be at greater risk because of their immunosuppression and associated co-morbidities.
