Partner-specific sexual behavioral differences between phase 3 HIV vaccine efficacy trial participants and controls: Project VISION
Article Abstract:
The risk behaviors of men who have sex with men (MSM) enrolled in the VAX004 HIV vaccine efficacy trial was compared with those of HIV-negative MSM enrolled in a control group from 5 North American sites using partner-specific behavioral data to define risks precisely for assessing the impact of vaccine trial participation on sexual behavior. Results reveal that the behavior of MSM during a vaccine trial was not markedly different than the contemporary behaviors of control.
