Evaluating the Safety and Immune Response of DNA/MVA Vaccines in HIV-1-Infected Young Adults Taking Anti-HIV Medications

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of two HIV vaccines in HIV-1-infected young adults who are taking anti-HIV medications and have very low virus levels. This study will also look at how the immune system responds to the vaccines.
