Herpes Zoster Rates Continue to Decline in People Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus but Remain Higher Than Rates Reported in the General US Population

Laura Gilbert et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2019.

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.

Keywords: HIV; declining incidence; herpes zoster.
