简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the best timing for administering pneumococcal vaccine (PV) to HIV-infected adults that have CD4 cell counts of more than 200 and are not yet receiving combination antiretroviral treatment (ART). Participants in this study will be assigned by chance to receive vaccination with PV prior to starting ART or after at least 6 months of ART. Antibody levels to components of the PV will be measured at 6 months and 12 months after vaccination. The results will tell us if patients that receive PV after 6 months of ART have better response to the vaccine than those that get vaccinated prior to treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Levels
时间窗: Baseline
Immunoglobulins are antibodies or special proteins that the immune system produces to protect the body against infections. IgG is the most common antibody. We measure baseline levels (before the vaccine is administered) to know how much antibody the subject has at the start point to be able to evaluate how much antibody is produced after the vaccine is administered.
IgG Levels
时间窗: One-month post-vaccine
Immunoglobulins are antibodies or special proteins that the immune system produces to protect the body against infections. IgG is the most common antibody. This point of time (one-month after vaccine), gives the information about how much antibody was produced by the participant's immune system in response to the vaccine.
Immunoglobulin M (IgM) Levels
时间窗: Baseline
Immunoglobulins are antibodies or special proteins that the immune system produces to protect the body against infections. IgM is the first antibody produced by the immune system to fight a new infection. We measure baseline levels (before the vaccine is administered) to know how much antibody the subject has at the start point to be able to evaluate how much antibody is produced after the vaccine is administered.
IgM Levels
时间窗: One-month post-vaccine
Immunoglobulins are antibodies or special proteins that the immune system produces to protect the body against infections. IgM is the first antibody produced by the immune system to fight a new infection. This point of time (one-month after vaccine), gives the information about how much antibody was produced by the participant's immune system in response to the vaccine.
Opsonophagocytic Killing Activity (OPA)
时间窗: One-month post-vaccine
This assay helps us to know how the antibody produced by the body are working to kill the bacteria against which the antibody is produced. This point of time (one-month after vaccine), gives the information about how much the killing activity increased 1 month after the vaccine was administered.
