Summary

This early-phase study tested a personalized vaccine for HIV made from each patient's own immune cells and virus. Eleven participants who had never taken HIV medication received the vaccine to see if it was safe and could lower their virus levels after a temporary break from treatment. The goal was to explore whether this approach could help control HIV without daily pills.
