About this trial

This study will test the safety and blood levels of the antibody BNT351 in people living without and with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This study will also test the anti-viral activity of BNT351 in people living with HIV (PLWH) with detectable virus levels.

The main goals of this study are:

* To learn about the safety of BNT351 and check for side effects. * To measure the amount of BNT351 antibody in blood over time. * To test the amount of HIV in the blood at different times after treatment with BNT351 in people living with HIV.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Are HIV-1 and HIV-2 negative at Visit 0.

Are assessed by the investigator as having a low likelihood of acquiring HIV and are committed to avoiding behaviors associated with a higher likelihood of acquiring HIV until the End of Study Visit.

Agree to discuss HIV disease risks;

Agree to HIV acquisition risk reduction counseling;

Disqualifiers

Have received an HIV vaccination or HIV broadly neutralizing antibody in another clinical study.

Have a known or suspected impairment/alteration of immune function or immunodeficiency (except for HIV infection, applicable to Part B only), including receipt of any immunostimulant, immunomodulator, immunosuppressive medication, immunoglobulin, blood product, or oral or parenteral steroid within 60 days prior to Day 1 or planned administration during the study. The following exception applies: Use of inhaled, intranasal, topical, or locally injected corticosteroids (e.g., intraarticular or intrabursal administration) is allowed.

Have a history of generalized urticaria or angioedema, or of allergy, anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity or intolerance to a human or humanized antibody or to BNT351 excipients.

Are receiving ongoing therapy for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
