PEG sensitivity in HVTN 133 and a healthy control population (Healthy Volunteers) - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to learn more about how certain vaccines can affect people's polyethylene glycol (PEG) sensitivity levels. PEG is a component of several different vaccines. We want to compare blood samples from healthy volunteers to blood samples from HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) 133 participants. We hope this will help us better understand the variation of PEG sensitivity in the general population and between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
