The questionnaire assessed knowledge of organ donation and willingnes…
Understanding Covid-19 Vaccine Confidence in People Living with HIV
Understanding the roots of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in at-risk groups, such as persons living with HIV (PLWH), is of utmost importance.

To examine factors associated with receiving COVID-19 vaccine and the link between vaccine attitudes and beliefs with vaccine behavior, PLWH were recruited v…
Characterization of people living with HIV in a Montreal-based tertiary care center with Covid-19 during the first wave of the pandemic
[347, 726] and six had detectable plasma HIV viral loads. Median duration of HIV was 17 years [7, 22] and 30 individuals had been prescribed antiretroviral therapy. Five persons were asymptomatic.

Primary lung cancer diagnoses in people living with HIV in a large clinical centre in Montreal, Canada over 3 decades

We conducted a review of primary lung cancers in PLWH at the McGill University Health Centre from 1988–May 2018 to understand potential factors contributing to their development prior to the implementation of a lung cancer screening program. Twenty-seven individuals had a diagnosis of a lung tumor. Of these individuals, 21 (78%) had a primary lung canc…
