NCT00002422

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give HE2000, an experimental anti-HIV drug, to HIV-infected patients on salvage therapy (emergency treatment used when a patient has not responded to standard therapy). HE2000 is a hormone that is suspected to make it more difficult for HIV to live in cells.
