Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has reduced the access of HIV patients to reference centers. However, retention-in-care is critical to maintain adherence to therapy and viral suppression. During lockdown in Italy, our center implemented several measures to ensure HIV-care continuum. To assess whether these efforts were successful, we investigated HIV viral load trend for a 1-year period (September 2019–August 2020), which included lockdown and partial lockdown months in our country. No significant changes overtime in the proportion of undetectable HIV-RNA were observed. Continuity of service made it possible to maintain viral suppression in our patients.

简短交流：意大利罗马 HIV 参考中心在 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行期间的 HIV 病毒载量趋势

2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行减少了 HIV 患者进入参考中心的机会。然而，保持治疗对于维持治疗和病毒抑制的依从性至关重要。在意大利封锁期间，我们的中心实施了多项措施以确保艾滋病毒护理的连续性。为了评估这些努力是否成功，我们调查了 1 年期间（2019 年 9 月至 2020 年 8 月）的 HIV 病毒载量趋势，其中包括我国的封锁和部分封锁月份。未观察到不可检测的 HIV-RNA 比例随时间的显着变化。服务的连续性使我们有可能在我们的患者中保持病毒抑制。
