The 5th administration (booster injection) will be conducted at 36th week and subjects will be followed for another 24 weeks. The primary endpoint is safety evaluation of ICVAX in clinically stable HIV-infected patients under ART. The incident rate of adverse events and abnormal laboratory results will be recorded for safety evaluation. The secondary endpoint is immunogenicity evaluation of ICVAX. Antigen-specific cellular and humoral immune responses induced by ICVAX, as well as the effect of ICVAX-ART combined treatment on the viral reservoir, will be assessed.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
