Abstract:
For people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) who have no serological responses to their primary hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccination or have seroreversion after successful primary vaccination, the optimal revaccination strategy remains unclear. Methods In this open-label, randomized clinical trial, PWH who tested negative for anti-HAV antibodies after receiving a standard 2-dose series of primary HAV vaccination were enrolled and assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 1 dose (the 1-dose group) or 2 doses of HAV vaccine administered 4 weeks apart (the 2-dose group). Serological response rates and anti-HAV antibody titers were compared at weeks 24 and 48. Results Of the 153 participants (77 in the 1-dose group and 76 in the 2-dose group), the overall serological response rates at week 48 after revaccination were similar between the 2 groups (2- vs 1-dose, 80.2% vs 71.4%, P = .20). However, anti-HAV antibody titers were consistently higher in the 2-dose group than in the 1-dose group. In subgroup analysis, PWH who were nonresponders to primary HAV vaccination were significantly more likely to mount a serological response after 2-dose HAV revaccination (68.4% vs 44.1%, P = .038). No severe adverse events were reported throughout the study. Conclusions Two-dose HAV revaccination administered 4 weeks apart yielded similar serological responses as 1-dose revaccination among PWH who were nonresponders or had seroreversion after primary HAV vaccination. The 2-dose revaccination schedule generated significantly higher anti-HAV antibody titers and was more likely to elicit serological responses at week 48 among PWH who were nonresponders to primary HAV vaccination.
