Another thing that comes to my mind is.. they have discovered anti HIV drugs have inhibiting effects on Corona
☝️Does this mean PLHIV on ART will never get COVID 19 if they are on Lopibavir/ritonavir?🤔
Yes! Anti HIV drugs have been effective but only a phase III trial can confirm this which probably will take years to happen.

Now that is a nice question.
Any person can get infected. But the chances of survival may be greater in people who are on these drugs. As HIV already compromises ones immune system, the person is more vulnerable to any other infection, but if the concerned person is showing effective results to these drugs for his condition, the person might just be able to fight another infection with appropriate dosing.
