COVID‐19: Prolonged viral shedding in an HIV patient with literature review of risk factors for prolonged viral shedding and its implications for isolation strategies

Our work highlights patients at risk of prolonged viral shedding in COVID‐19 and its implications for isolation strategies and explores possible solution by PCR‐CT value testing (cycle threshold value). We also review the impact of HIV on COVID‐19. We present prolonged viral shedding in an immunocom...

Summary:Our work highlights patients at risk of prolonged viral shedding in COVID‐19 and its implications for isolation strategies and explores possible solution by PCR‐CT value testing (cycle threshold value). We also review the impact of HIV on COVID‐19. We present prolonged viral shedding in an immunocompromised HIV patient with a literature review of risk factors for prolonged viral shedding and its implications for isolation strategies. We explore the role of PCR‐CT‐ value (cycle threshold) as an instrument for guiding isolation policies and the impact of HIV on COVID‐19.
