Abstract

In April 2020, just months into the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, an international group of public health researchers published three lessons learned from pandemic HIV for the response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which were to: 1) anticipate health inequalities; 2) create an enabling environment to support behaviour change, and 3) engage a multidisciplinary effort.1 We revisit these lessons in light of over two years’ experience with the COVID-19 pandemic. With specific examples, we detail how inequalities have played out within and between countries, highlight factors that support or impede creation of enabling environments, and note ongoing issues with the lack of integrated science and health system approaches. We argue that to better apply lessons learned as the COVID-19 pandemic matures and other infectious disease outbreaks emerge, it will be imperative to create dialogue among polarised perspectives, identify shared priorities, and draw on multi-disciplinary evidence.
