Description

It might be possible to increase immune responses or to induce new types of immune responses to HIV in some infected individuals by means of a vaccine, which could result in an immunological, virological or clinical benefit. ORIGINAL DESIGN: Patients are randomized to one of five groups to receive, intramuscularly, one of four dosages of gp160 or hepatitis B vaccine as a control. Treatments are given at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and patients are followed for up to 2 years.
