Scientific titleResponse to routine immunisations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected adults: a cross-sectional cohort study
Study acronymAIR Study
Study objectivesThe aim of this study is to investigate the level and duration of response to routine vaccinations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected adults compared with uninfected adults and how this relates to the function of the immune system in these individuals.
Ethics approval(s)National Research Ethics Committee - North Staffordshire Research Ethics Committee, 10/07/2009, ref: 09/H1204/53
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
InterventionNationally-recommended immunisation against vaccine-preventable diseases for HIV-infected adults.

Cases:
At recruitment – Pneumococcal, Men C, Hib, HepB, HepA and TetDipIPV vaccinations, depending on previous vaccination history and psychosocial factors questionnaire. Annual influenza vaccination. Vaccination response assessed by antibody titres. Booster vaccinations offered in case of sub-optimal response.

Controls:
As for cases, but no psychosocial factors questionnaire.

Duration of treatment and follow up (both arms): five years.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureProportion of HIV-infected patients producing a response to Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccination of 1.0 ug per ml anti-polyribosyl phosphate antibodies (considered protective levels) at 1 month post-vaccination compared with HIV-uninfected control subjects.

Acute vaccination responses measured at baseline and one month post-vaccination with clinical laboratory serological assays for antibody titres.
Secondary outcome measures1. Level of immune response to each vaccination at 1 month post-vaccination in study participants compared with control group and correlation of immune response to degree of immune suppression of each participant gauged by CD4 count
2. Duration of immune response to each vaccination through course of study
3. Correlation of immune response to psychosocial factors
4. Occurrence of any vaccine-preventable diseases during the course of the study

Acute vaccination responses measured at baseline and one month post-vaccination with clinical laboratory serological assays for antibody titres. Duration of immune response measured at four-monthly clinic visits (cases) and annual appointments (controls) over 5 year duration of study. Psychosocial factors measured at baseline and four months via a patient questionnaire. Vaccine-preventable disease occurrence measured through continuous follow in outpatient clinic over 5 year duration of study.
