Description

Evidence suggests that an advanced stage of disease with high plasma viremia is associated with increased transmission of HIV-1 to the fetus. Slowing the progression of disease, reducing the titer of virus in plasma, and increasing the titer of epitope-specific antibody are potentially attainable goals through active immunization of the mother during pregnancy. Pregnant women are randomized to receive an initial injection of MN rgp120 vaccine or alum placebo between week 16 and week 24 of gestation, followed by monthly booster injections concluding at the end of pregnancy, for a total of f...
