Question: Should people with HIV worry about the coronavirus?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: What to Know About HIV and COVID-19
section_headers: Are people with HIV at higher risk for COVID-19 than other people?
section_content: At the present time, we have no specific information about the risk of
COVID-19 in people with HIV.
Older adults and people of any age who have a serious underlying medical
condition might be at higher risk for severe illness, including people who are
immunocompromised. The risk for people with HIV getting very sick is greatest
in:

People with a low CD4 cell count, and
People not on HIV treatment (antiretroviral therapy or ART).

People with HIV can also be at increased risk of getting very sick with
COVID-19 based on their age and other medical conditions.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: What to Know About HIV and COVID-19
section_headers: What else can people with HIV who are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19 do to protect themselves?
section_content: Nearly half of people in the United States with diagnosed HIV are aged 50
years and older. People with HIV also have higher rates of certain underlying
health conditions. Both increased age and these conditions can increase their
risk for more severe illness if people with
HIV get COVID-19, especially people with advanced HIV.
Steps that people with HIV can take to
prepare in addition
to what is recommended for everybody:

Make sure you have at least a 30-day supply of your HIV medicine and any other medications or medical supplies you need for managing HIV.
Talk to your health care provider and make sure all your vaccinations are up-to-date, including vaccinations against seasonal influenza and bacterial pneumonia because these vaccine preventable diseases disproportionally affect people with HIV.
Establish a plan for clinical care if you have to stay at home for a couple of weeks. Try to establish a telemedicine link through your HIV care provider’s online portal. If telemedicine is not available to you, make sure you can communicate with your provider by phone or text.
Make sure you can maintain a social network remotely, such as online, by phone, or by video chat. This can help you stay socially connected and mentally healthy, which is especially important for people with HIV.
People with HIV can sometimes be more likely than others to need extra help, from friends, family, neighbors, community health workers, and others. If you become sick make sure you stay in touch by phone or email with people who can help you.

page_title: What to Know About HIV and COVID-19
section_headers: What can people with HIV do to protect themselves from COVID-19?
section_content: There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent
getting sick is to avoid exposure to the virus.
People with HIV should take everyday preventive
actions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
People with HIV should also continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This
includes:

Eating right,
Getting at least 8 hours of sleep, and
Reducing stress as much as possible.

Staying healthy helps your immune system fight off infection should it occur.
If you have HIV and are taking your HIV medicine, it is important to continue
your treatment and follow the advice of your health care provider. This is the
best way to keep your immune system healthy.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Doesn't address altered risk for demographic in question but does address courses of action.
The advice is fairly vague, but it does address the question of whether HIV-positive people should worry about the virus.
