Impact of immune activation on antibody persistance after HPV vaccination in women living with HIV
2023
Brussels
Project lead by Nicolas Dauby : 'Despite antiretroviral therapy, immune activation persists among women living with HIV (WLWHIV). Immune activation has been shown to impact the durability of antibody responses following vaccination. We aim to assess the role of persistent immune activation on the long-term persistence of HPV-specific antibody following vaccination with Gardasil. This work will contribute to the identification of WLWHIV who respond less to vaccination and that might benefit from additional dose of vaccine'
