This letter expands on our previously published case report.¹ In this study, we determine if prior infection with coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever) impacted study endpoints to investigate vaccine immunogenicity during simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection as a model for immunizing people living with HIV/AIDS.
