Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic comparable to humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV) in many ways. It is an infection with no known vaccine or cure, no licensed treatments early in the pandemic 1 , presents with diverse functional problems that are amplified by other health conditions and aging 2, 3 , and disproportionately affects key and vulnerable populations 1, 4 . COVID-19 is increasing the burden of disease and disability and will continue to do so 5 . Rehabilitation has played and will continue to play a vital role in case management 6 . Although the long-term consequences of COVID-19 remain largely unknown, evidence from the HIV experience could inform the evolving practice of COVID-19 rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation is a fundamental health service within universal health coverage and enables greater participation in education, employment, and community life, with far-reaching health, social and economic benefits 7 . The field of HIV, disability, and rehabilitation has taken ground-breaking strides to advance practice, education, and research 8 . We outline 6 key lessons from HIV rehabilitation for consideration to inform COVID-19 rehabilitation.

Anticipate disability during and after acute management of COVID-19, and recognize its potentially episodic nature. 

contextual factors that might exacerbate or alleviate dimensions of disability and can help inform areas in which to focus interventions or service provision efforts to address disability over time.

Understand that the disability dimension "uncertainty or worry about the future" may play a role in COVID-19-related disability.
