Background: In Peru, the estimated prevalence of co-infection between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) is 2.9% in the general population. Currently, there is controversy on the impact of their interaction on clinical progression and mortality, thus constituting a major public health problem. Objective: To compare socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as mortality rates between HIV-infected and HIV/HTLV co-infected patients. Methods and Materials: Retrospective cohort of patients aged 18 years and older belonging to the HIV and HTLV cohort of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute of Tropical Medicine in the period 1989-2019. Each co-infected patient was randomly assigned two HIV-infected patients with similar characteristics: sex, age at admission (+/-5 years) and year of HIV diagnosis. Data were collected from epidemiological records of each cohort. Results: In the total sample, the median age was 41.5 years (RQ=34-51 years), the majority were male (61%), single (44.4%), heterosexual (71%), born in Lima (58%), with a secondary school education (55.6%) and receiving antiretroviral treatment (91.4%). The overall mortality rate was 13.6 per 100 persons and survival time for co-infected patients (median=14.19 years) was significantly shorter than in HIV-infected patients (median=23.83 years) (p<0.001). Conclusion: Co-infected patients had significantly lower survival compared to HIV-infected patients; however, larger-scale prospective studies are essential to understand the true impact.
