Does influenza vaccine increase the HIV titer in the blood of people with HIV infection?
Although some studies have demonstrated a transient increase in replication of HIV following inactivated influenza vaccine, other studies have not found this. This temporary increase in HIV titer has not been associated with deterioration in either T-lymphocyte counts or clinical condition. Annual influenza vaccination with an age-appropriate injectable influenza vaccine benefits HIV-infected people.
