Abstract
Purpose of Review
This editorial introduces this special Global Health Section on the interface of the HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics.
Recent Findings
Authors of articles in this special issue take on a variety of topics that capture how the acute COVID-19 pandemic affected global efforts towards HIV control, and how co-infection, stigma, and social determinants of disease have affected populations on multiple continents.
Summary
Two historic pandemics -- HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 -- have affected the world in our lifetimes at a level reminiscent of the 1918-1919 H1N1 influenza pandemic. We have much to learn from both experiences to optimize pandemic disease control, prevention, and management.
