A | People with HIV are at increased risk of being reinfected with the virus that causes COVID-19, according to new federal data.Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Chicago Department of Public Health followed adult residents in Chicago from their first reported infection from March 2020 through the end of May 2022, according to the report published Wednesday by the CDC.The team compared COVID test laboratory data and COVID vaccine administration data to Chicago's Enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System.About 5% experienced reinfection among more than 453,000 Chicago residents who tested positive for the virus.Rates of reinfection were higher among people with HIV (6.7%) than among people without HIV (5.2%).People with HIV are more likely to have completed a primary COVID vaccine series plus a booster before their reinfection -- 31.8% versus 27% for those without HIV.Reinfection rates were consistently higher throughout the pandemic for people with HIV and were highest during the original omicron variant phase, according to the report."Understanding if persons with HIV have a higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 reinfection may help tailor future COVID-19 public health guidance," the authors wrote. "[Persons with HIV] should follow the recommended COVID-19 vaccine schedule, including booster doses, to avoid SARS-CoV-2 reinfections."Those who were reinfected were more likely to be male, older and Black or African American compared to those without HIV, the study found.People with HIV were also less likely to have been unvaccinated at the time of their first infection compared to people without HIV.The report notes the findings are a reminder about the risks of reinfection for those who are immunocompromised.HIV can weaken the immune system, infecting and destroying CD4 cells, which causes the white blood cell count to drop and compromises the immune system.This means that people with HIV are susceptible to COVID infection especially those who are not on antiretroviral therapy (ART).ART is a combination of drugs that suppresses a person's viral load until HIV Is virtually undetectable. The ability of ART to control viral replication has been shown to greatly improve immune system function, studies show."Evaluating the association between HIV infection and SARS-CoV-2 reinfections using surveillance data can help strengthen public health recommendations including the need for extra doses as part of a primary series, booster doses of vaccine, and optimized ART in [persons with HIV]," the authors wrote. "Tailored guidance and prevention messaging for [persons with HIV] can help reduce the elevated risk we identified in this analysis and limit continued SARS-CoV-2 transmission."。 8月23日，“睦邻友好共赴山海·缤纷吉林共话新程”中俄文旅交流推介活动在长春举办。吉林省文化和旅游厅副厅长刘大蔚出席活动并致辞。 本次活动旨在深化吉林省与俄罗斯滨海边疆区文旅交流合作，把握“中俄教育年”“中俄青年歌会”对外交流契机，推动“中俄教育年”框架下重点活动落地见效。会上，延边文旅精彩亮相。 摄/郑春生 珲春防川一眼望三国 延边州位于吉林省东部，东与俄罗斯滨海边疆区接壤，地缘区位优势得天独厚。多年来，延边依托对俄口岸通道、跨境交通及免签便利政策，与俄罗斯滨海边疆区保持常态化文旅互访、客源互通，跨境文旅合作基础深厚、潜力巨大。 现场，推介人员从延边的地理区位、民俗风情、康养资源、休闲业态等方面进行了推介。从得天独厚的三国交界边境区位、畅通便捷的对俄跨境通关优势，到底蕴浓郁的朝鲜族非遗民俗、风情十足的边疆人文风貌；从绿水青山相伴的生态康养资源、四季分明的全域度假风光，到业态丰富的休闲体验项目、成熟完善的跨境精品旅游线路，层层递进、细致全面地呈现了延边文旅的核心亮点与发展优势。 鲜活生动的推介内容、独具边疆特色的文旅资源、多元丰富的业态场景，充分展现了延边文旅的独特吸引力与对外开放活力，让俄罗斯代表团更加深入地了解了延边边境文旅优势与合作前景。 未来，延边将借此契机，持续发挥对俄边境区位优势，依托中俄友好合作契机，不断深化与俄罗斯滨海边疆区的全方位文旅交流。持续优化跨境旅游线路、丰富文旅产品供给，常态化开展文化互访、研学交流、产业对接活动，积极拓宽合作领域、激活边境文旅活力，持续擦亮跨境文旅融合特色品牌，推动两地睦邻友好、文旅共赢合作迈向更深层次、更广领域。 来源：延边文旅 初审：鹏飞 复审：张洋 终审：盖永强 请返回，查看更多。
