The trial consists of 5,000 participants in the United States and Canada, and 2,500 participants in Bangkok. Here in Seattle we enrolled close to 150 HIV negative men who have sex with men. The trial will take three years from beginning to end and will require 17 visits total from the participant. There will be an immunization every six months for a total of seven injections.
