  Outcome Measures

1.  Primary:   Safety of the DC Vaccine (as Measured by Frequency of Adverse Events)   [ Time Frame: After vaccination ]
  Show Outcome Measure 1

2.  Primary:   Change From Baseline to Week 14 in ELISPOT Response to Gag and Nef   [ Time Frame: Baseline and 14 weeks ]
  Show Outcome Measure 2

3.  Secondary:   T Cell Proliferation   [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 14 ]
  Show Outcome Measure 3

4.  Secondary:   IL2 and IFN Gamma Production   [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 14 ]
  Show Outcome Measure 4


  Serious Adverse Events


  Other Adverse Events


  Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
The trial size is small, precluding detection of small effect sizes.
