Men who have sex with men - ages
18-50, HIV-negative and circumcised - and transgender women are being recruited
for an HIV vaccine trial at Case Western Reserve/University Hospitals AIDS
Clinical Trials Unit.
Cleveland is one of 18 sites
nationwide taking part in the research, which began in early 2011 and is being
conducted by the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. The trial is testing the safety
and efficacy of a combination of two HIV vaccines to see if they stimulate an
immune response or decrease the viral load of participants who later become
infected. Neither vaccine can cause HIV infection.
For more information, telephone
Outreach Coordinator Bob Bucklew at 216-844-4444, e-mail info@case.edu, or visit
