This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of an investigational vaccine (pNGVL4a-Sig/E7[detox]/HSP70 and TA-HPV) prior to cell collection in healthy partially immune system matched relatives (haploidentical) stem cell transplant donors. Scientists have found that a family of viruses called the human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause certain cancers, particularly in the head and neck and cervix. Most of these cancers are caused by a specific type of HPV called HPV16. This research is being done to see if giving donors an investigational vaccine against HPV causes the immune system to respond and generate HPV-specific white blood cells. HPV16+ cancer patients, receiving a transplant from a donor who has been vaccinated with pNGVL4a-Sig/E7[detox]/HSP70 and TA-HPV, may receive a stronger immune response and more effectively treat their cancer. Giving pNGVL4a-Sig/E7(detox)/HSP70 and TA-HPV may be safe and tolerable prior to cell collection in healthy haploidentical stem cell transplant donors.

 PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine the safety of administering two intramuscular doses of the pNGVL4a-Sig/E7(detox)/HSP70 deoxyribonucleic acid (pNGVL4a- Sig/E7[detox]/HSP70) vaccine followed by an intramuscular dose of the human papillomavirus tumor antigen (TA-HPV) vaccine, each dose given one week apart to healthy donors.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Compare the levels of circulating HPV16 E6- and E7- specific CD8+ T cells and/or CD4+ T cells in the peripheral blood elicited by administering two intramuscular doses of the pNGVL4A-Sig/E7(detox)HSP70 vaccine followed by an intramuscular dose of the TA-HPV vaccine.
II. Develop a process for good manufacturing practices (GMP)-grade manufacturing of HPV16 E7-specific CD4+ T cells for the adoptive cellular therapy of HPV16-associated cancers.
III. To evaluate the proliferative responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells pre- and post-vaccination in response to stimulation by HPV16 E6/E7 antigens. 
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. 
ARM A: Participants receive pNGVL4a-Sig/E7(detox)/HSP70 intramuscularly (IM) on day -29 and -22 and receive TA-HPV IM on day -15 in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, participants undergo bone marrow collection on study and blood sample collection throughout the study. Patients may undergo leukapheresis as clinically indicated.
ARM B: Participants receive pNGVL4a-Sig/E7(detox)/HSP70 IM on day -29 and -22 and receive TA-HPV IM on day -15 in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, participants undergo leukapheresis on study and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up on day -7, 0, 14 and 90.
