Abstract

In the antiretroviral therapy era, herpes zoster incidence continued to decline in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, at 0.9 cases/100 person-years, rates in PLWH are substantially higher than the general US population; emphasizing the needs for studies of the subunit vaccine in PLWH.
