Answer: Simon Collins

Yes. People living with HIV were included in most vaccine studies. Usually these were small numbers though compared to the study overall.

This small group is still enough to compare immune responses to the general population. The main concern might be that the vaccines are slightly less effective.

There are NO safety concerns from these vaccines in people living with HIV. Or with any other common health conditions.

This is one of more than 65 questions about COVID vaccines. It was produced by and for people living with HIV.
