Effects of Immunization With HIV-1 Immunogen Plus Anti-HIV Treatment Interruption on the Levels of HIV

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether or not an HIV vaccination will help the body control the amount of HIV virus in blood (viral load) in patients who are not taking anti-HIV medicines. Doctors are not sure why the body fails to control HIV viral load in most people infected with HIV. The vaccine Remune has been shown to boost part of the body's immune response to HIV in patients whose viral load has been lowered with anti-HIV drugs. This study will test the ability of Remune to improve the body's immune response and to lower HIV viral load in patients who stop taking anti-HIV drugs for short periods of time.
