Smallpox Vaccine and HIV Dec 17, 2002 I read on a gay related web site that hiv positive individuals should not live with people who get the smallpox vaccine. I work in a hospital in records, if the ER staff gets the vaccine would I be in danger. Viral load is undetectable and t-cells 1700 |

 You should not be at high risk, but you should avoid any direct contact. Also, to minimize the risk, all workers should keep the site of the vaccine covered with a long shirt or band-aid. | ||||||||
