Abstract:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a major challenge in global health. In recent years, vaccines have emerged as an important tool for the treatment and prevention of HIV-related complications. This review article addresses the evolving landscape of vaccines for people living with HIV (PLWH), evaluating current vaccination strategies for standard vaccines and travel vaccines in PLWH compared to the general population and offering a summary of the current recommended vaccines. It evaluates studies for vaccine effectiveness and safety and discusses methods to improve vaccination rates among PLWH. Systematic research was carried out using keywords. We address the current state of knowledge and highlight areas for future research and development.
