Popis: Abstract Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is an important risk factor for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19), but data on the prevalence of COVID‐19 among people living with HIV (PLWH) is limited in low‐income countries. Our aim was to assess the seroprevalence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) specific antibodies and associated factors among PLWH in Sierra Leone. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional survey of PLWH aged 18 years or older in Sierra Leone between August 2022 and January 2023. Participants were tested for SARS‐CoV‐2 antibodies using a rapid SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody (immunoglobulin M/immunoglobulin G [IgG]) kits. Stepwise logistic regression was used to explore factors associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody seroprevalence with a significance level of p
