Abstract
We conducted a retrospective study to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on children living with HIV in Guatemala. A reduction in physical consultations and laboratory tests was observed in prepandemic versus pandemic period. However, immunovirological status of the children showed no differences. The mitigation measures implemented were important to reduce the impact of the pandemic on the follow-up of children living with HIV.
