Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Gardasil
Quadrivalent HPV Vaccine (types 6, 11, 16, 18) for intramuscular injection at study entry, week 8, week 24, and week 128.
Biological: Gardasil
week 0, 8, 24, 128
Other Name: quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the safety and tolerability of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine in HIV-infected men.
  • To assess the immunogenicity of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine for types 6, 11, 16 and 18 in subjects who are antibody-negative at baseline.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the changes in plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ count after the vaccination series.
  • To describe the associations of CD4+ count, nadir CD4+ count, and age on antibody response.
  • To evaluate the levels and persistence of HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 antibody titers after the vaccination series among subjects according to serostatus at baseline.
  • To evaluate the oral levels of serum IgA before and after the vaccination series.

Tertiary

  • To evaluate prevalent and incident HPV infections in the anal canal.
  • To evaluate cytological and histological abnormalities in the anal canal.
  • To evaluate prevalent and incident HPV infections in the oral cavity.
  • To compare oral and anal compartmental shedding of HPV before and after vaccination.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine intramuscularly on day 0 and weeks 8 and 24.

After completion of protocol therapy, patients are followed at 7, 12, and 18 months.
