Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Safety and adverse events among the two vaccination groups
lymphoproliferative (LP) responses to HIV antigens, as assessed by LP assays at Week 9
CD8+ T cell responses to HIV antigens, as assessed by ELIspot assay of interferon gamma (IFN-g) secreting cells at Week 9
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Proportion of patients with positive LP assay and ELISPOT assay responses
intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) of IFN-g/CD69 and flow cytometry
51-Cr release cytotoxic T cell lymphocyte assay
HLA class I tetramer analyses
anti-HIV gag, pol and env antibodies, as assessed by ELISA and Western blot
- +1 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- HIV negative.
- Acceptable methods of contraception.
You may not qualify if:
- Identifiable risk behavior for HIV infection, including: sexual partners of HIV positive people, sexual intercourse with a partner of unknown HIV status if that partner is reported to be at higher risk for HIV infection, gay men reporting any unprotected anal intercourse with partners of unknown status in the 12 months preceding study entry, individuals diagnosed with a sexually transmissible infection (STI) in the 12 months preceding entry that may have been acquired through anal or vaginal intercourse, individuals reporting sharing of injecting equipment in the last 12 months.
- HIV candidate vaccines in a previous HIV vaccine trial.
- Hypersensitivity to egg products or a known history of anaphylaxis or any other serious adverse reactions to vaccination.
- History of serious allergic reaction requiring hospitalization or emergency medical care (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome, bronchospasm, or hypotension) to any substance.
- Significant illness requiring immunomodulatory or cytotoxic therapy.
- History of cancer unless there is evidence of surgical excision followed by a sufficient observation period to give a reasonable assurance of cure.
- Blood products or immunoglobulins within 6 months prior to entering the study.
- Experimental or investigational agents within 30 days prior to entering the study.
- Recreational and/or therapeutic drug use that might compromise the study participant's safety.
- Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that preclude compliance with the protocol.
- Pregnant or lactating women.
