A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Synthetic DNAs Encoding a Native-like HIV Env Trimer and Interleukin-12 (INO-6160), Alone or in a Prime-boost Regimen With 3M-052-AF + Alum Adjuvanted VRC HIV Env Trimer 4571 in Adult Participants Without HIV

Volunteer who is breast-feeding or pregnant

Body mass index (BMI). Enrollment of individuals with BMI ≥ 40, whom the site investigator assesses are in good health, may be considered by PSRT on a case-by-case basis

Diabetes mellitus (DM). Type 2 DM controlled with diet alone, or a history of isolated gestational diabetes are not exclusionary. Enrollment of individuals with Type 2 DM that is well-controlled on diet alone or on hypoglycemic agent(s) may be considered, provided the HgbA1c is ≤8% within the last 6 months (sites may draw these at screening)

Previous or current recipient of an investigational HIV vaccine (previous placebo recipients are not excluded)

Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, including systemic medication use likely to impair immune response to vaccine in the opinion of the site investigator such as glucocorticoid use equal to or greater than prednisone 10 mg/day within 3 months prior to enrollment

Blood products or immunoglobulin within 16 weeks prior to enrollment; receipt of immunoglobulin within 16 weeks prior to enrollment requires PSRT approval

Receipt of any live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to enrollment

ACAM2000 vaccine for Monkeypox received within 30 days prior to enrollment or receipt of study product, or if ACAM2000 received greater than 30 days prior to enrollment, or prior to receipt of study product, vaccination scab still present; or planned administration within 30 days after enrollment or receipt of study product

Receipt of any vaccines that are not live attenuated within 14 days prior to enrollment; replication incompetent vaccines such as the Jynneos vaccine for the prevention of monkeypox disease are not considered to be live vaccines

Receipt of non-HIV experimental vaccine(s) received within the last 1 year. Exceptions may be made by the PSRT for vaccines that have subsequently undergone licensure or Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA or, if outside the United States, by the national regulatory authority or World Health Organization. For volunteers who have received control/placebo in an experimental vaccine trial, the PSRT will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis

Initiation of antigen-based immunotherapy for allergies within the previous year (stable immunotherapy is not exclusionary); inclusion of participants who initiated immunotherapy within the previous year requires PSRT approval

Receipt of investigational research agents with a half-life of 7 or fewer days within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. If a potential participant has received investigational agents with a half-life greater than 7 days (or unknown half-life) within the past year, PSRT approval is required for enrollment

History of serious reaction (eg, hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis) to any related vaccine or component of the study vaccine regimen

Hereditary angioedema, acquired angioedema, or idiopathic forms of angioedema

Idiopathic urticaria within the past year

Bleeding disorder diagnosed by a doctor (eg, factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder requiring special precautions)

Seizure disorder; febrile seizures as a child or seizures secondary to alcohol withdrawal more than 5 years ago are not exclusionary

Asplenia or functional asplenia

Active duty and reserve US military personnel

Any other chronic or clinically significant condition that in the clinical judgement of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of the study participant, including, but not limited to: clinically significant forms of drug or alcohol abuse, serious psychiatric disorders, persons with any suicide attempt within the past one year (if between 1-2 years, consult PSRT) or cancer that, in the clinical judgment of the site investigator, has a potential for recurrence (excluding basal cell carcinoma)

Asthma is excluded if the participant has ANY of the following:

Required either oral or parenteral corticosteroids for an exacerbation two or more times within the past year; OR

Needed emergency care, urgent care, hospitalization, or intubation for an acute asthma exacerbation within the past year (eg, would NOT exclude individuals with asthma who meet all other criteria but sought urgent/emergent care solely for asthma medication refills or co-existing conditions unrelated to asthma); OR

Uses a short-acting rescue inhaler more than 2 days/week for acute asthma symptoms (ie, not for preventive treatment prior to athletic activity); OR

Uses medium-to-high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (greater than 250 mcg fluticasone or therapeutic equivalent per day), whether in single-therapy or dual-therapy inhalers (ie, with a long-acting beta agonist \[LABA\]); OR

Uses more than one medication for maintenance therapy daily. Inclusion of anyone on a stable dose of more than one medication for maintenance therapy daily for greater than two years requires PSRT approval.

* A participant with a history of an immune-mediated disease, either active or remote. Specific examples are listed in protocol (AESI index). Not exclusionary: 1) remote history of Bell's palsy (\>2 years ago) not associated with other neurologic symptoms, 2) mild psoriasis that does not require ongoing systemic treatment

* Investigator concern for difficulty with venous access based upon clinical history and physical examination. For example, history of IV drug abuse or substantial difficulty with previous blood draws.

* Presence of implanted electronic medical device (eg, pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator)

* Presence of surgical or traumatic metal implant in either upper arm and/or upper torso

* History of cardiac arrhythmia (eg, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation) (Not excluded: sinus arrhythmia)

* Tattoo overlying the injection sites preventing assessment of reactogenicity in the view of the investigator or skin condition at the injection sites

* History or presence of keloid scar formation or hypertrophic scar
