It’s been just revealed that an HIV-positive woman with persistent coronavirus infection that latest 216 days saw the virus mutating within her over 30 times.
The research notes that the HIV-positive patient’s more than seven month infection was part of a cohort study of 300 other people with HIV; it explored the effect of a SARS-CoV-2 infection when introduced to an immune system with a present HIV infection.
“Of the mutations found in the patient, both the UK and South African variants were noted to be present at one point or another throughout the length of the woman’s infection,” the study notes.
