OBJECTIVES/GOALS: COVID-19 disproportionately affects patients with prior health conditions and those living at a lower socioeconomic status. Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are infected with SARS-CoV-2 at a higher rate than seronegative patients. Risk factors and incidence of post-COVID-19 comorbidities in PLWH, specifically, are still unknown METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will study PLWH enrolled in the Emory Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) Registry who receive care at the Grady Ponce de Leon Center in Atlanta, Georgia to 1) investigate the incidence of, and 2) identify risk factors that predispose PLWH to post-COVID-19 comorbidities. All PLWH with documented COVID-19 (by positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR or antigen test) between March 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021, with a clinic visit within 12 months will be included. We will identify comorbidities using problem list diagnoses and ICD9/10 codes. With a predicted sample size of 395, we will use a Cox proportional hazards model for time-to-detection of comorbidity, and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models to identify predictors of incident comorbidity within 12 months of COVID-19. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: o Previous work demonstrated that in PLWH, age and non-AIDS comorbidities, but not HIV-related factors, were associated with hospitalization for COVID-19 in a dose dependent fashion.18 We anticipate that rate of incident comorbidities will be significantly higher in PLWH after COVID-19 compared to PLWH without a history of COVID-19. We also expect that pre-existing comorbidities including obesity and cardiovascular disease, male sex, Black race, and older age are associated with higher incidence of post-COVID-19 comorbidities in PLWH. When stratifying by organ system, we also anticipate that prior comorbidities of an organ system will predispose patients to later complications of that same system. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: By understanding the incidence and risk factors associated with developing post-COVID-19 comorbidities we can improve guidelines for treatment of groups experiencing the disproportionate impact of co-infection with HIV and SARS-CoV-2.
