Description
Yanyan Li and five co-authors track in 2024 how COVID-19 vaccination shifts immune cell counts in people living with HIV in China. Vaccine safety in this group is broadly proven, but effects on HIV-related markers were unclear. A short-lived immune lift could matter for care timing.
The study matches 372 patients at one Beijing hospital, vaccinated versus not, by propensity scores. Vaccinated patients show a higher CD4 to CD8 ratio within two months of the third dose. Counts rise briefly after vaccination, most clearly after the second dose. Most patients took three doses. Long-term marker paths are charted by dose group as well. The authors read the lift as real but transient, with no sign of harm to viral control.
