* Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≤ 1000 /mm3 (≤ 1 x 109 /l)
* Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) ≤ 600 /mm3 (≤0.6 x 109 /l)
* Platelets ≤100,000 /mm3, ≥ 550,000 /mm3 (≤ 100 /l, ≥ 550 /l)
* Biochemistry
* Creatinine \> 1.3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 2.5 x ULN
* Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 2.5 x ULN
* Urinalysis- Clinically significant abnormal dipstick confirmed by microscopy:
* Protein = 2+ or more
* Blood = 2+ or more (for women: before or after menses)
* Confirmed HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection.
* If female, pregnant or planning a pregnancy any time from enrolment to 4 months after the last vaccination; or lactating.
* Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within the previous 60 days or planned receipt at any time until 60 days after vaccination with Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) or receipt of other vaccine, including influenza vaccine, within the previous 14 days or planned receipt at any time until 14 days after vaccination with the IMP.
* Receipt of blood transfusion or blood products within the previous 6 months.
* Participation in another clinical trial of an IMP currently or within the previous 3 months or expected participation during this study.
* Receipt of any investigational HIV-1 vaccine within the last 6 years.
* History of severe or very severe local or systemic reactogenicity events after vaccination, or history of severe or very severe allergic reactions.
* Confirmed diagnosis of acute or chronic hepatitis B virus infection (spontaneous clearance leading to natural immunity, indicated by antibodies to core + antigens, is not an exclusion criterion); confirmed diagnosis of hepatitis C virus infection; untreated syphilis.
* Smallpox vaccination within the previous 3 years.
* Major psychiatric illness in the previous 3 years.
* History of allergy or hypersensitivity to latex, chronic skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis, or skin and subcutaneous tissue thickness \> 40 mm as assessed by skin pinch test in either deltoid region.
* Presence of an implantable device
* Current use of any electronic stimulation device. Therapeutic or traumatic metal implant in either deltoid region.
* History of, or known active cardiac disease or a heart condition under the care of a doctor. Note: Slight physiological variation of normal resting heart rate (60 - 100 beats/minute) with respiration is NOT excluded.
