Persons living with HIV (PLWH) may be at increased risk for severe COVID-19-related illness. Our community-based participatory research partnership collected and analyzed semi-structured interview data to understand the early impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a sample of racially/ethnically diverse gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men living with HIV. Fifteen cisgender men participated; their mean age was 28. Six participants were Black/African American, five were Spanish-speaking Latinx, and four were White. Seventeen themes emerged that were categorized into six domains: knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19; COVID-19 information sources and perceptions of trustworthiness; impact of COVID-19 on behaviors, health, and social determinants of health; and general COVID-19-related concerns. Interventions are needed to ensure that PLWH have updated information and adhere to medication regimens, and to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on social isolation, economic stability, healthcare access, and other social determinants of health within this vulnerable population.

HIV 感染者 (PLWH) 罹患严重 COVID-19 相关疾病的风险可能会增加。我们基于社区的参与性研究伙伴关系收集并分析了半结构化访谈数据，以了解 COVID-19 大流行对不同种族/民族的同性恋、双性恋和其他与艾滋病毒感染者发生性关系的男性样本的早期影响。十五名顺性别男性参加了；他们的平均年龄为 28 岁。六名参与者是黑人/非裔美国人，五名是讲西班牙语的拉丁裔，四名是白人。出现了 17 个主题，分为六个领域：对 COVID-19 的知识和看法； COVID-19 信息来源和可信度认知； COVID-19 对行为、健康和健康社会决定因素的影响；以及与 COVID-19 相关的一般问题。需要采取干预措施，确保 PLWH 掌握最新信息并遵守药物治疗方案，并减少 COVID-19 对这一弱势群体的社会隔离、经济稳定、医疗保健获取和其他健康社会决定因素的影响。
