Abstract

Among 582 participants in Western Kenya who were retrospectively tested from January through March 2020, 19 (3.3%) had detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The prevalence of detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was similar between participants with and without HIV (3.1% vs. 4%, P = 0.68). One participant reported a cough in the preceding week but others denied symptoms. These may represent cross-reactivity or asymptomatic infections that predated the first reported COVID-19 cases in Kenya.
