Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVaccine prevention strategies play a crucial role in the management of people living with HIV (PLWH). The aim of this study was to assess vaccination coverage and identify barriers to vaccine uptake in PLWH in the Paris region. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in PLWH in 16 hospitals in the Paris region. The vaccination status, characteristics, opinions, and behaviors of participants were collected using a face-to-face questionnaire and from medical records. A total of 338 PLWH were included (response rate 99.7 %). The median age of participants was 51 years (IQR: 41-58). Vaccination coverage was 77.3 % for hepatitis B (95 % CI: 72.3-81.8 %), 62.7 % for hepatitis A (57.3-67.9 %), 61.2 % for pneumococcal vaccines (55.8-66.5 %), 56.5 % for diphtheria/tetanus/poliomyelitis (DTP) (51.0-61.9 %), 44.7 % for seasonal influenza (39.3-50.1 %), 31.4 % for measles/mumps/rubella (26.4-36.6 %) and 38.5 % for meningococcal vaccine (13.9-68.4 %). The main reason for vaccine reluctance was related to the lack of vaccination proposals/reminders. The overall willingness to get vaccinated was 71.0 % (65.9-75.8 %). In the multivariable analysis, several factors were associated with a higher vaccine uptake; for DTP vaccine: higher education level, having vaccination records, being registered with a general practitioner; for seasonal influenza vaccine: age > 60 years, higher educat...
