This was a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 1 site in South Africa. A total of 26 subjects were randomized 1:1 to receive 2 doses of either AERAS-402 at 3 x 10\^10 vp (N=13) or placebo (N=13) on Study Days 0 and 28. Dose-escalation to a second group of 40 subjects was planned, but although no safety concerns were identified, the sponsor decided not to continue the study.

CD4+ Lymphocyte Count
Assess the effect of AERAS-402 on the CD4+ lymphocyte count after 6 months in HIV-infected, BCG-vaccinated adult subjects with no evidence of active tuberculosis (TB disease) Change in cells/mm\^3 pre-vaccination to Study Day 182
Time frame: CD4+ counts from samples collected on Study days 0 and 182.
Change in HIV Viral Load in HIV-infected, BCG-vaccinated Adult Subjects Before and After Administration of AERAS-402 (From Day 1 to Day 182)
Time frame: 6 months (day 182) post Study Day 0 vaccination.
Mtb-specific T Cell Response in HIV-infected BCG-vaccinated Adult Subjects With no Evidence of TB Disease
Intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assay immune response was expressed as the percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells producing any one of three cytokines (IFN-γ, TNF-α, or IL-2) or any combination of the three cytokines simultaneously after stimulation with Ag85A, Ag85B, and TB10.4 peptide pools.
Time frame: Study days 28 and 56
