...Numerous studies, from retrospective studies to randomized control trials (RCT), have found a correlation between undetectable HIV RNA, a high CD4 cell count and higher vaccination success.(19,20,23,27,30,60,63,75,93-97,100) The HIV viral load even seems to be more important than the CD4 count [19, 21, 23,], even though a positive correlation between the CD4 cell count at the time of (re)vaccination and the response to vaccination was observed in many studies....
