Overview
Due to their immunodeficiency, HIV positive patients are at greater risk from many infections, including the preventable ones. Vaccination is the most effective means of protection. However the physician’s attitude to the vaccination of immunocompromised patients needs to be very specific. The effectiveness of vaccination correlates strongly with actual immunological status. The use of live vaccines is mostly not indicated because of the potentional risk. Vaccination is relatively safe, including some live vaccines, in persons with CD4+ T cells > 500/μμl.
Key words:
HIV, prevention, vaccination, safety, efficacy.
