Immunogenicity and safety of an inactivated hepatitis a vaccine in anti‐HIV positive and negative homosexual men

The immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of an inactivated hepatitis A vaccine were assessed in anti‐HIV positive homosexual men. Fourteen anti‐HIV positive (group 1) and 20 anti‐HIV negative (group 2) men received vaccine (containing 720 ELISA units of hepatitis A antigen per dose) intramuscularly at 0, 1, and 6 months. Twelve unvaccinated anti‐HIV positive men (group 3) were included as controls to evaluate disease progression.
