Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
HSV-2 DNA Vaccine
There are 5 treatment arms with the first dose being the lowest dose given to Arm 1 and then Arm 2 receives dose 3x greater than Arm 1 and then Arm 3 receives dose 10x greater than Arm 1 and then Arm 4 receives 30x greater than Arm 1 and then Arm 5 receives 100x greater than Arm 1. Each dose is given intradermally 3 times 3 weeks apart. The subject will be monitored 3 weeks post the last vaccination.

Comparator / control treatment
Immunological response post vaccination compared to baseline prior to vaccination
