Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has greatly improved mortality and morbidity rates associated with HIV and AIDS. However, many HIV-1 infected individuals are unable to access HAART. It is therefore important to develop a safe and effective therapeutic vaccine to improve immune control of viral replication and reduce the need for antiretroviral medication. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the HIV-1 DNA vaccine VRC-HIVDNA009-00-VP in treating HIV-1 infected individuals who initiated antiretroviral therapy during acute infection. This study will involve a supervised treatment interruption (STI) in order to determine whether therapeutic vaccination results in improved immune control of viral replication.
