    People with HIV have a higher incidence of HPV infection, increasing their risk for HPV-related cancers.

  • 2

    The nonavalent HPV vaccine Gardasil 9® is recommended for immunizing people with HIV, following a three-dose schedule.

  • 3

    Studies show that immune responses to HPV vaccines in people with HIV are comparable to those in HIV-uninfected individuals.

  • 4

    T-cell responses to the HPV vaccine are positively correlated with CD4 T-cell counts and negatively correlated with HIV plasma RNA load.

  • 5

    The study aims to evaluate the T-cell response to the Gardasil 9® vaccine, focusing on prior HPV infection and CD4 T-cell levels.
