This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Background The COVIH study is a prospective SARS-CoV-2 vaccination study in people living with HIV (PLWH). Of the 1154 PLWH enrolled, 14% showed a reduced or absent antibody response after a primary vaccination regimen. As the response to an additional vaccination in PLWH with hyporesponse is unknown, we evaluated whether an additional vaccination boosts immune responses in these hyporesponders. Methods Consenting hyporesponders received an additional 100 g of mRNA-1273. Hyporesponse was defined as [≤]300 spike(S)-specific binding antibody units [BAU]/mL. The primary endpoint was the increase in antibodies 28 days after the additional vaccination. Secondary endpoints were the correlation between patient characteristics and antibody response, levels of neutralizing antibodies, S-specific T-cell and B-cell responses, and reactogenicity. Results Of the 75 PLWH enrolled, five were excluded as their antibody level had increased to >300 BAU/mL at baseline, two for a SARS-CoV-2 infection before the primary endpoint evaluation and two were lost to follow-up. Of the 66 remaining participants, 40 previously received ChAdOx1-S, 22 BNT162b2, and four Ad26.COV2.S. The median age was 63[IQR60-66], 86% were male, pre-vaccination and nadir CD4+ T-cell counts were 650/L[IQR423-941] and 230/L[IQR145-345] and 96% had HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL. The mean antibody level before the additional vaccination was 35 BAU/mL (SEM 5.4) and 45/66 (68%) were antibody negative. After the additional mRNA-1273 vaccination, antibodies were >300 BAU/mL in 64/66 (97%) with a mean increase of 4282 BAU/mL (95%CI3241-5323). No patient characteristics correlated with the magnitude of the antibody response, nor did the primary vaccination regimen. The additional vaccination significantly increased the proportion of participants with detectable ancestral S-specific B-cells (p=0.016) and CD4+ T-cells (p=0.037). Conclusion An additional mRNA-1273 vaccination induced a robust serological response in 97% of the PLWH with a hyporesponse after a primary vaccination regimen. This response was observed regardless of the primary vaccination regimen or patient characteristics.
