Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, indigenous peoples have become more vulnerable. Cantagallo is the largest urban community of migrants from the Shipibos-Konibo indigenous people in Lima. In this population, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/2) infection is endemic, which produces immunosuppression, predisposes to opportunistic infections and causes high morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe the association between HTLV-1/2 infection and COVID-19 severity in migrants from the Shipibo-Konibo people in Lima; estimate the prevalence of HTLV-1/2 in residents who have had COVID-19; explore risk factors for COVID-19 severity. Methods and Materials: Migrants from the Shipibo-Konibo indigenous people residing in Cantagallo-Rimac who are suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 were surveyed. A blood simple was obtained for COVID-19 antibody detection and ELISA for HTLV-1/2. Results: 182 people were surveyed and sampled. No significant association was found between HTLV-1/2 infection and COVID-19 severity. The HTLV-1/2 prevalence was 20,88% (95% CI: 15.2 - 27.5) in this population. Age was the only statistically significant risk factor for developing a more severe COVID-19 (OR: 1.03, IC 95%: 1.00-1.06; p=0.013). Conclusions: An association between HTLV-1/2 infection and COVID-19 severity could not be determined. The prevalence of HTLV-1/2 is elevated in this population. Age was the only risk factor found for developing a more severe from COVID-19.
