We conducted an observational, retrospective, pre-post intervention study on patients attended at the HIV Infection Unit (HIVU) of the “12 de Octubre” University Hospital (H12O), with the dual objective of describing the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection in this group of patients and evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention during the first two waves of the pandemic. “Intervention” was defined as the set of organisational measures implemented to mitigate risk of COVID-19 by limiting patients’ contact with the hospital as far as possible, and consisted of the home delivery of medications prescribed and dispensed to ambulatory patients undergoing follow-up at the HIVU, and preferential use of non face-to-face consultations.
