Brief summary
HPV can cause various cancers, including cervical cancer. HIV-infected individuals, due to immune deficiency or long-term immunosuppressive therapy, have significantly higher rates of HPV infection and associated lesion risks compared to the general population. However, clinical research on vaccines for HIV-infected individuals is still in its early stages. This study aims to investigate the safety, immunogenicity, and immune response mechanisms of HPV vaccines in HIV-infected populations. A single-center, prospective, open-label cohort study was conducted, enrolling 60 HIV-infected participants and 20 healthy controls, who received vaccinations according to a 0-, 1-, and 6-month schedule and were followed up for two years. Adverse events were monitored using CTCAE 5.0 criteria, while humoral and cellular immune responses were assessed using pseudovirus neutralization assays, mass cytometry, high-throughput gene sequencing, ELISA, and other techniques. By integrating data on HIV-related biomarkers, host genetic factors, and immune pathway analyses, we aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of vaccine response. The study sought to define the safety profile of the vaccine in HIV-infected individuals, explore the impact of CD4+ cell count and ART regimens on immune responses, and establish a stratified vaccination strategy based on immune status. These findings are expected to provide critical data support and practical guidance for vaccine application in special populations, offering evidence-based insights for developing consensus and guidelines on HPV vaccination for HIV-infected individuals and enhancing the global public health impact of vaccines.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALHPV vaccination
The participants received one dose of the 9-valent human papillomavirus vaccine (Cecolin 9) at 0 months (baseline), 1 month, and 6 months, with the injection site being the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.
