About
Every 10 minutes, someone in the United States is infected with HIV. A preventive vaccine against HIV offers the best long-term hope to end this worldwide epidemic. Finding a safe and effective HIV vaccine that will protect people is a huge task. We cannot do it without your help.
- We are currently seeking 1350 men who have sex with men to participate in a vaccine trial.
- You cannot become infected with HIV from the vaccines
- The study will take place in Chicago and many other cities in the United States.
Safety is a primary goal of the vaccine trial. This is a Phase II study, designed to yield limited information on the effectiveness of the vaccine. The research vaccines have been found to be safe in animals and hundreds of humans in previous trials. One of the vaccines is made from an inactivated cold virus known as an adenovirus. The vaccines do NOT contain the HIV virus, and CANNOT cause HIV infection. Since these vaccines are still being researched, we urge all of our participants to practice safe sex.
We are currently looking for 1350 volunteers for a vaccine trial. Participants must be:
- Men who have sex with men
- 18-50 years old
- HIV-negative
- Circumcised
If you do not meet these requirements, there may be other HIV-related studies that may be more appropriate for you.
