Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to test whether delayed boosting (an extra administration of a vaccine) with the IHV01 (FLSC) protein and A244/AHFG with or without ALFQ will cause the body to make higher amounts of antibodies or different types of antibodies after the vaccination.
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to define the safety and immunogenicity of IHV01 and A244/AHFG with and without ALFQ at a full dose and at a fractional dose (one-fifth of a full dose) in a late boost setting for participants who had previously received a late boost of AIDSVAX®B/E with or without ALVAC in RV306. Safety will be assessed through the frequency of the overall and specific post-vaccination reactions. Blood, lymph nodes, sigmoid tissue, and mucosal specimens/secretions will be collected to assess humoral, cell-mediated, innate, and mucosal immune responses. Healthy, HIV-uninfected participants, at a low risk for HIV infection, available for 12 months, who were randomized to receive active vaccine in RV306 and completed all vaccinations will be enrolled. A total of 120 participants will be enrolled across four vaccination groups. In each group, 25 participants will receive IHV01 and A244/AHFG at a full or fractional dose with or without ALFQ and 5 participants will receive placebo. Participants will receive 2 intramuscular (IM) injections into the quadriceps muscle at Day 0. The same quadriceps muscle will be used for both injections. Participants randomized to receive the vaccines will have one injection of IHV01 and one injection of A244/AHFG at a full or fractional dose with or without ALFQ, whereas participants randomized to receive placebo will get 2 separate injections of Normal Saline. All placebo injection volumes will match the vaccine injection volumes for the group in which a participant has been randomized. Participants will be followed-up for up to 12 months after enrollment. Mucosal secretion collections and endocervical cytobrush/swab procedures will be performed at Days 0, 14, 168, and 336 on consenting participants. Leukapheresis, sigmoid biopsy, and lymph node biopsy procedures will be performed only at Day 14 on consenting participants.
