    People living with HIV (PLWH) experience persistent immune activation and low-grade inflammation despite effective antiretroviral therapy.

  • 2

    The study analyzed immune responses in PLWH before and after mRNA vaccination, focusing on the CD4/CD8 ratio as a marker of immune health.

  • 3

    Distinct immune states were observed in PLWH stratified by CD4/CD8 ratio, with low ratios showing broad transcriptional dysregulation.

  • 4

    Low CD4/CD8 ratio groups exhibited increased monocyte-specific protein–protein interaction connectivity and reduced clonotype diversity.

  • 5

    Vaccine-induced immune responses in PLWH are influenced by network-level organization associated with CD4/CD8 ratio-defined immune states.
