Study of Boosting Strategies After Vaccination With ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX® B/E

Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to better define the relative contributions of AIDSVAX® B/E alone, ALVAC-HIV alone, or ALVAC-HIV plus AIDSVAX® B/E combination to the observed immune profile in the weeks and months after receiving the original prime and boost vaccine regimen from study protocol RV 144, and their booster effects in both the systemic and mucosal compartments. In addition, this study will provide more intensive and comprehensive characterization of the innate, cell-mediated and humoral immune responses than possible within the RV 144 study.
