Influenza and its vaccination in HIV1-AIDS patients

Influenza vaccination of HIV1-seropositive subjects generally protects against specific flu, especially if the patients have not reached a too-advanced stage. Influenza vaccination, as spontaneous influenza, can increase viral load or induce a rebound at a PCR-imperceptible phase of HIV1. Recombinant canarypox vectors encoding HIV1 antigens can stimulate HIV1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
