Description

In prior trials evaluating alternative methods of vaccine administration, scarification has been found to be an imprecise method of administration and allows only 1.0 - 2.5 microliters of immunogen to be given. Since it is not feasible to produce vaccine at concentrations higher than 10 to the 10th pfu/ml, this method limits the maximum deliverable dose. Intradermal and subcutaneous injection routes allow larger volumes of vaccinia to be given, i.e.: up to 200 microliters intradermally and up to 100 ml subcutaneously. In the present study, the initial priming dose will be the same administe...

  • Patients with the following prior conditions are excluded:
  • History of immunodeficiency, chronic illness, malignancy or autoimmune disease.
  • History of cancer, unless there has been surgical excision followed by a sufficient observation period to give a reasonable assurance of cure.
  • Any history of anaphylaxis or history of other serious adverse reactions to vaccines.
  • History of serious allergic reaction to any substance, requiring hospitalization or emergent medical care (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome, bronchospasm, or hypotension).
  • Eczema within the past year.
  • History of smallpox vaccination.
  • Envelope bands on HIV-1 Western blot within 8 weeks of immunization.
  • Prior Medication: Excluded:
  • Use of immunosuppressive.
  • Live attenuated vaccines within 60 days of study.
  • NOTE: Medically indicated subunit or killed vaccines (e.g. influenza, pneumococcal) do not exclude, but should be given at least 2 weeks prior to HIV immunizations.
  • Experimental agents within 30 days prior to study.
  • Prior receipt of HIV-1 vaccines or placebo recipient in a previous HIV vaccine trial.
  • Receipt of blood products or immunoglobulin within past 6 months.
  • Risk Behavior: Excluded:
  • History of injection drug use within the last 12 months prior to enrollment.
  • Higher or intermediate risk sexual behavior as defined by the AVEG.
