ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become the greatest critical healthcare concern in 2020. The present study investigated the correlation between COVID-19 distribution and the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among countries.
Material and methods:
Data were obtained from publicly available data on COVID-19 and HIV/ AIDS, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Burden of Disease (GBD). Bivariate correlation analyses were used to investigate the correlation between the variables.
Results:
COVID-19 cases and death ratio negatively correlated with the prevalence of HIV/AIDS (r = –0.40 and r = –0.38, p < 0.05, respectively).
Conclusions:
The findings indicated that in countries with high prevalence of HIV/ AIDS, COVID-19 cases and death ratio were low, which could be due to the type of therapy or screening system. Nevertheless, further studies are required in this field.
