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.

What is the Condition Being Studied?

Healthy Volunteers

Who Can Participate in the Study?

Adults ages 18-50 who:

  • Are in general good health
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
