Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed new challenges for the scientific community. The behaviour of the virus and outcomes in people living with HIV have not yet been properly studied. We report the case of a 34-year-old man with newly diagnosed HIV infection stage 4 and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although immunocompromised patients are classified as being at high risk of developing severe COVID-19, HIV-related immunosuppression may have a protective role.
