description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Despite highly effective antiretroviral therapy, people living with HIV (PLWH) experience chronic immune activation and inflammation which may influence the progression of infections such as SARS-CoV-2. Here, we explore the immune response and clinical outcomes in HIV(+) and HIV(-) individuals experiencing acute COVID-19 and long COVID (LC). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We performed flow cytometric analyses on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the following: 1) HIV(-) individuals experiencing acute COVID-19, 2) PLWH experiencing acute COVID-19, and 3) pre-COVID-19 pandemic PLWH. Additionally, we will perform similar analyses for the following: 1) PLWH experiencing LC, 2) PLWH previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 who recovered, 3) pre-COVID-19 pandemic PLWH, and 4) HIV(-) individuals experiencing LC. Flow cytometry panels include surface markers for immune cell populations, activation and exhaustion surface markers (with and without SARS-CoV-2-specific antigen stimulation), and intracellular cytokine staining. We will also analyze how chronic HIV infection and other clinical and demographic factors (e.g., age, CD4 %) impact persistent symptomatic burden. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Acute COVID-19 results–Overall, PLWH had higher baseline expression of activation markers OX40 and CD137 on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, along with increased levels of TNFa producing CD8+ T cells. Interestingly, PLWH had increased expression of exhaustion markers PD1 and TIGIT but decreased expression of TIM3 on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Additionally, PLWH had decreased levels of IL-2 and IFNg producing CD4+ T cells which suggests functional exhaustion. Long COVID-19 expected results–we hypothesize that the activation and inflammation seen in chronic HIV infection will lead to more immune dysregulation and subsequently worsened symptomatic burden. Additionally, we hypothesize that PLWH may have different frequencies of certain LC manifestations, such as increased rates of neurocognitive impairment. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings suggest that chronic HIV infection influences acute immune response during SARS-CoV-2 infection, and that PLWH have variable expression of exhaustion markers which warrants further study. Additionally, our findings in the LC cohort will aid in characterizing clinical manifestations and immunologic mechanisms of LC in PLWH.
