We explored the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Vietnam. In June 2020, we interviewed 32 PLHIV who identified as men who have sex with men, persons who inject drugs, female sex workers, or transgender after Vietnam’s strict quarantine period. While most participants were knowledgeable regarding COVID-19 transmission and prevention, COVID-19 was perceived more as a threat to individual rather than community health. The pandemic affected PLHIV significantly. Many lost employment with reduced income and increased family stress and conflict. Travel restrictions and unemployment affected access to antiretroviral (ARV) medication, particularly for transgender PLHIV who obtain ARVs from unofficial sources. Participants recounted substantial mental health effects, including worry, stress, and boredom. However, some respondents reported positive effects on family relationships. After quarantine, most reported feeling better, although financial worries persisted. Preparation for social emergencies should include development of supports for PLHIV in vulnerable groups.
