Laboratory Inclusion Values
Hemogram/CBC
37.Hemoglobin ≥ 11.0 g/dL for volunteers who were born female, ≥ 13.0 g/dL for volunteers who were born male

Chemistry
42.Chemistry panel: ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase < 1.25 times the institutional upper limit of normal; creatinine ≤ institutional upper limit of normal.
43.Cardiac Troponin T or I (cTnT or cTnI) does not exceed the institutional upper limit of normal
Virology
44.Negative HIV-1 and -2 blood test: Participants must have a negative test result for HIV infection following the HVTN Lab Program’s in-study HIV testing algorithm, prior to initial enrollment.
45.Negative Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
46.Negative anti-Hepatitis C virus Ab (anti-HCV), or negative HCV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) if the anti-HCV is positive
Urine
47.Normal urine:
•Negative urine glucose, and
•Negative or trace urine protein, and
•Negative or trace urine hemoglobin (if trace hemoglobin is present on dipstick, a microscopic urinalysis with red blood cells levels within institutional normal range).
Reproductive Status
48.Volunteers who were born female: negative serum or urine beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test performed prior to vaccination on the day of initial vaccination. Persons who are NOT of reproductive potential due to having undergone total hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy (verified by medical records), are not required to undergo pregnancy testing.
49.Reproductive status: A volunteer who was born female must:
•Agree to consistently use effective contraception (Appendix A) for sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy from at least 21 days pri

Exclusion Criteria

36.Blood products received within 120 days before first vaccination
37.Investigational research agents received within 30 days before first vaccination
38.Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40
39.Volunteer has 2 or more of the following cardiac risk factors:
•Participant report of history of elevated blood cholesterol defined as fasting LDL >160 mg/dL;

•Current smoker; or
•BMI ≥ 35
40.Pregnant or breastfeeding

Vaccines and other Injections
42.Any clinically significant AE related to vaccination in HVTN 205, for which revaccination would be a safety concern such as any grade 3 or 4 related AE
43.Smallpox vaccine received within the last 5 years
44.HIV vaccine(s) received in a prior HIV vaccine trial other than HVTN 205. For HVTN 205 participants who have subsequently received control/placebo in another HIV vaccine trial, the HVTN 114 PSRT will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
45.Non-HIV experimental vaccine(s) received within the last 5 years in a prior vaccine trial. Exceptions may be made for vaccines that have subsequently undergone licensure by the FDA. For volunteers who have received control/placebo in an experimental vaccine trial, the HVTN 114 PSRT will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis. For volunteers who have received an experimental vaccine(s) greater than 5 years ago, eligibility for enrollment will be determined by the HVTN 114 PSRT on a case-by-case basis.
46.Live attenuated vaccines other than influenza vaccine received within 30 days before first vaccination or scheduled within 14 days after injection (eg, measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR]; oral polio vaccine [OPV]; varicella; yellow fever)
47.Influenza vaccine or any vaccines that are not live attenuated vaccines and were received within 14 days prior to first vaccination (eg, tetanus, pneumococcal, Hepatitis A or B)
48.Allergy treatment with antigen injections within 30 days before first vaccination or that are scheduled within 14 days after first vaccination
Immune System
49.Immunosuppressive medications received within 168 days before first vaccination. (Not exclusionary: [1] corticosteroid nasal spray; [2] inhaled corticosteroids; [3] topical corticosteroids for mild, uncomplicated dermatitis; or [4] a single course of oral/parenteral corticosteroids at doses < 2 mg/kg/day and length of therapy < 11 days with completion at least 30 days prior to enrollment.)
