✦ Synopsis

One concern about HIV vaccine trials is that participants might develop a false sense of security and increase their risk behavior. This fear has (at least partially) impaired the development of extensive clinical trials on HIV vaccines and are, in principle, justified. In this paper, we develop a dynamical model which allows experiments on the effects of an imperfect vaccine on a population prone to change its risk behavior. Our results show that even the poorest of the candidate vaccines to be seriously considered, may have beneficial effects on reducing transmission, even when risk behaviors increases.

## Abstract Vaccines based on human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and 18 virus‐like particles have the potential to prevent ∼70% of cervical cancers. In Australia, public vaccination against HPV commenced in April 2007, and includes routine vaccination of females aged 12–13 years, and a 2‐year school and
