Summary

Vaccines have been very successful in preventing viral infections such as hepatitis B and the measles. Viral vaccines work by causing a person's immune system to make cells that will work against the virus. Due to the success in treating other viral infections, scientists are trying to develop a vaccine for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV infection is the cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is one of the most serious viral infections we know.

This is a research study to evaluate the safety of a possible vaccine against HIV. Researchers want to determine that a person's immune system can respond to the HIV before he or she is exposed to it. Therefore that person may be able to be protected from infection with HIV.

Conditions

  • HIV Infections

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

EnvDNA, PolyEnv1, EnvPro

Description: The vaccine regimen is a series of 6 injections given 28 days apart. EnvDNA is administered intramuscularly as 100 mcg of recombinant DNA in 1.5 mL of PBS as injections #1, 2 and 5. PolyEnv1 is recombinant vaccinia virus administered subcutaneously as 107 pfu in 0.8 mL of PBS as injection #3. EnvPro is administered intramuscularly as 100 mcg of recombinant protein and 500 mcg of aluminum hydroxide (alum) adjuvant in 1.0 mL of PBS as injections #4 and 6.
