Third COVID-19 vaccine dose boosts antibody function in Rwandans with high HIV viral load
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) causing COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) poses a greater health risk to immunocompromized individuals including people living with HIV (PLWH). However, most studies on PLWH have been conducted in higher-income countries. We investigated the post-vaccination antibody responses of PLWH in Rwanda by collecting peripheral blood from participants after receiving a second or third COVID-19 vaccine. Virus-binding antibodies as well as antibody neutralization ability against all major SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern were analyzed. We found that people with high HIV viral loads and two COVID-19 vaccine doses had lower levels of binding antibodies that were less virus neutralizing and less cross-reactive compared to control groups. A third vaccination increased neutralizing antibody titers. Our data suggest that people with high HIV viral loads require a third dose of vaccine to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 virus and new variants as they emerge.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
