VAXGEN
HIV Vaccine Trial Program
If you are an HIV-Negative man and would like to participate in
a volunteer program for the new FDA approved trial vaccine against
HIV called AIDSVAX by VaxGen, please refer to the map below to see
if there is a testing site near you.
SOME REQUIREMENTS YOU MUST MEET:
You MUST be HIV-Negative
You must be between 18 and 60 years old
You must be in a high-risk group for sexual HIV transmission
(as barebackers, we are)
You must be able to commit to the test program for 3 years.
HOW IT WORKS:
You will initially be tested in order to be certain you do not
already have the HIV-1 virus.
Following a negative test result, you will be given the first
in the series of "vaccinations" (one out of three participants
will be administered a placebo) with a follow-up assessment
two weeks later to determine the vaccine's effects / side effects.
30 days from your first vaccination, you will receive
another treatment, then others will be administered at
six-month intervals covering the 3-year period.
Two weeks after each vaccination, you will be required
to return for a follow-up assessment so the study can
monitor your results.
