Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the decline of immune responses in people living with HIV (PLWH) after vaccination and booster doses, focusing on those with low CD4 counts (≤200 cells/mm).
- It measured neutralizing antibodies and T cell responses at multiple time points to assess the effectiveness of the primary vaccine cycle and booster dose.
- Results showed that those with low CD4 counts experienced a more significant drop in neutralizing antibodies, but booster doses increased these levels and maintained them longer against certain variants, even though T cell responses remained detectable across all groups.
