Vaccines HIV positive people can benefit from

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) currently has no vaccine for prevention or treatment.

According to Healthline, research and testing on experimental vaccines are ongoing, but none are close to being approved for general use. This means that no one knows when the vaccine will be available to the general public.

That is why it can be lethal if not properly managed. HIV is a viral infection that makes the human immune system very weak and prone to attack by any kind of infection. Based on a report by Healthline, only a small number of people who have HIV develop broadly neutralising antibodies, the kind of antibodies that can respond to a range of HIV strains.

Healthline encourages that while there’s still no vaccine to prevent HIV transmission, people with HIV can benefit from other vaccines to prevent HIV-related illnesses. Here are the vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as published by Healthline.

1. Pneumonia Vaccine:

2. Influenza Vaccine

3.Hepatitis A and B Vaccine

4. Meningitis Vaccine

5. Shingles Vaccine
