How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected HIV patient caseload, patient management and treatment management?

From March to December 2020, Ipsos ran multiple waves of our HIV COVID-19 Impact Study among HIV-treating physicians in the US.

We have created an infographic of our top-line findings, which are as follows:

  • At the beginning of the pandemic, participating physicians reported that their HIV patient load had decreased and that they expected the decrease to continue in the coming weeks.
  • A month later, a quarter of physicians were uncertain of what the coming weeks held while almost half expected no change.
  • As summer set in, so did positivity, with fewer HIV patients cancelling appointments and almost a third of physicians expecting their caseload to increase.
  • At the end of the year, a final pulse revealed another decrease in HIV patient caseloads and a return to uncertainty.
  • With the approval of several vaccines and the relaxation of state restrictions, the future impact of COVID-19 on HIV patients remains to be seen.
