"On March 9, 2020, 2 weeks into the COVID-19 outbreak in Spain, 543 consecutive patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection had been admitted to hospital at Hospital Clínic Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. We admitted 62 (12%) into intensive care units and we discharged 208 (38%) with supervised outpatient care. Of all patients, five (0-92%; 95% 0.39-2-14) were HIV positive, of whom three were male and two were transgender, and four identified as men who have sex with men (MSM). Two patients had comorbid conditions. Two patients were sex workers. Four were virologically suppressed: two with protease-inhibitor (darunavir-boosted cobicistat) and two with integrase-inhibitor (dolutegravir)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART). CD4 counts were above 400 cells per μL in all patients apart from patient 5, who was ART naive and a very advanced late presenter. Two patients had upper-respiratory tract infections, and three had viral pneumonia, including two requiring admission to the intensive care unit with invasive (patient 2) and non-invasive (patient 5) mechanical ventilation."
