Abstract

We identified 10 individuals who had undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection at the time of smallpox vaccination. Mean CD4 cell count was 483 cells/ mm ³ (range, 286-751 cells/mm ³), and mean log ₁₀ plasma HIV-1 RNA load was 4.13 copies/cm ³ (range, 2.54-5.16 copies/cm ³). All vaccinees (3 primary and 7 repeat) had a normal, robust reaction without complications. Smallpox vaccine was well-tolerated in this small series of HIV-1-infected military personnel.
