Popis: HIV positive patients are in a higher risk of many infections, including the preventable ones. The vaccination is thus a very important part of health-care offered to those patients. Effectiveness of vaccination correlates strongly with the actual immunological status. Vaccination is safe, including some live vaccines, in persons with CD4+ T cells500/ml. In patients with CD4+ T cells200/ml the efficacy of vaccination is uncertain and live vaccines are strictly contraindicated. A good knowledge of all aspects of vaccination and HIV-infection is necessary, hence we recommend that vaccination of all HIV-positive persons should be realized exclusively by experts in specialized AIDS centers. In the following text we present the proposals for guidelines for vaccination of adult patients infected with HIV-1.
