There are some limitations in the report, the authors report herein they continue to collect data to better understand the associations & causes, are the excess comorbidities driving the outcomes ? Or is it HIV? I don’t think they don’t know that yet. One comment I think I recall is that HIV+ with undetectable VL still are worse.
"We found that even among the subset of PLWDH who were virally suppressed and had high CD4 counts had higher hospitalization rates compared to the non-PLWDH population. Here's the text from the article:"
"To probe the role of HIV stage and viral suppression in increasing hospitalization risk for PLWDH versus non-PLWDH, we conducted the per-population hospitalization standardized rate analysis classifying PLWDH persons into 2 categories: PLWDH Stage 1 and virally suppressed, PLWDH in other known care statuses. Relative to non-PLWDH, hospitalization risk was elevated even for PLWDH Stage 1 and virally suppressed (aRR [95% CI]: 1.19 [1.07-1.30]), along with PLWDH in other care statuses (aRR [95% CI]: 1.77 [1.61-1.93])."
