This report is Confirmed false and is of Medium Priority. Here is why -
There is currently no evidence that people with HIV are at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 as long as they are receiving effective antiretroviral treatment. While an HIV-positive person may be at increased risk of complications from a COVID-19 infection, HIV is currently considered to be less of a risk factor than other health conditions. It is certainly not true that an HIV patient cannot survive COVID-19.
