Abstract: Multicenter study designed to describe epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) positive cases registered among children and adolescents living with HIV (CALWH). SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed in 13.3% of CALWH, with all patients presenting mild symptoms, and the outcome was good in all patients. None of the HIV- and antiretroviral treatment-related variables studied were associated with greater infection risk or could be considered protective.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
