Belief of vaccine receipt in HIV vaccine trials: further cautions

Article Abstract:

The author noted that participants in AIDS vaccine trials who believed they had received the actual vaccine (as opposed to placebo) behaved differently than those who did not so infer. Those who believed reported more side effects, were not as forthcoming about knowing another person with HIV/AIDS as motivation for being part of the test, but that their motivation was fear of HIV infection.
