In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, Australia had <30,000 COVID-19 cases. Formerly stringent public health measures are now relaxed and vaccinations are available. We compared pandemic impacts on Victorians with HIV (people with HIV [PWHIV]) over time. Two surveys were developed with HIV stakeholder groups appraising demographics, concern, and pandemic impacts. The latter included vaccination, mental health, and quality of life questions. Recruitment was through social media and Alfred and Monash Health HIV-clinics (first survey August 26 to November 26, 2020; second survey October 30, 2021 to January 31, 2022). The surveys had 153 and 95 respondents, respectively. Demographics were similar. Most reported negatively impacted mental health (68%). Most (56%) required mental health services, of these, 39% could not access them. Rates of concern increased. Ninety percent had two COVID-19 vaccinations. Both surveys demonstrated HIV and non-HIV-care provision. PWHIV reported concern and negative impacts. Improved mental health services access is needed to optimize PWHIV quality of life.

COVID-19 大流行对澳大利亚维多利亚州 HIV 感染者的影响：1 年后

在 COVID-19 大流行的第一年，澳大利亚的 COVID-19 病例不到 30,000 例。现在放松了以前严格的公共卫生措施，并且可以接种疫苗。我们比较了随着时间的推移，流行病对维多利亚州艾滋病毒感染者（艾滋病病毒感染者 [PWHIV]）的影响。与 HIV 利益相关者团体一起开展了两项调查，评估人口统计、关注和大流行的影响。后者包括疫苗接种、心理健康和生活质量问题。通过社交媒体和 Alfred and Monash Health HIV 诊所进行招募（第一次调查于 2020 年 8 月 26 日至 11 月 26 日；第二次调查于 2021 年 10 月 30 日至 2022 年 1 月 31 日）。调查分别有 153 名和 95 名受访者。人口统计数据相似。大多数报告对心理健康产生负面影响 (68%)。大多数 (56%) 需要心理健康服务，其中 39% 无法获得这些服务。关注率上升。百分之九十的人接种了两次 COVID-19 疫苗。两项调查都表明提供了艾滋病毒和非艾滋病毒护理服务。PWHIV 报告了担忧和负面影响。需要改善精神卫生服务的可及性以优化感染 PWHIV 的生活质量。
