1. Any clinically significant acute or chronic medical condition, other than HIV infection, that is considered progressive or in the opinion of the investigator makes the participant unsuitable for participation in the study.

4. In the past 6 months a history of alcohol or substance use, judged by the Investigator to potentially interfere with participant study compliance.
5. Bleeding disorder that was diagnosed by a physician (e.g., factor deficiency, coagulopathy or platelet disorder that requires special precautions). Note: A participant who states that he or she has easy bruising or bleeding but does not have a formal diagnosis and has intramuscular injections and blood draws without any adverse experience, is eligible.
6. History of a splenectomy.
7. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within the previous 60 days or planned receipt within 60 days after administration of IP; or receipt of other vaccine within the previous 14 days or planned receipt within 14 days of administration of the IP (exception is live attenuated influenza vaccine within 14 days).
8. Receipt of blood transfusion or blood-derived products within the previous 3 months.
9. Participation in another clinical trial of an investigational product currently, within the previous 3 months or expected participation during this study.
10. Prior receipt of an investigational HIV vaccine candidate, monoclonal antibody, or polyclonal immunoglobulin (note: receipt of placebo in a previous HIV vaccine or monoclonal antibody trial will not exclude a participant from participation if documentation is available and the Medical Monitor gives approval.
11. History of severe local or systemic reactogenicity to vaccines (e.g., anaphylaxis, respiratory
difficulties, angioedema); |
