Abstract
A method for treatment of HIV infection includes administering at least one anti-HIV drug, such as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor, to a patient in need of such treatment and administering an extract from inflammatory tissue inoculated with vaccinia virus to the patient following the administration of the at least one anti-HIV drug. The extract maintains suppressive action on HIV replication, even if the administration of the anti-HIV drug is terminated.
Claims20
A method for treatment of HIV infection comprising:
- administering at least one anti-HIV drug to a patient in need of such treatment;
- and
- administering an extract from inflammatory tissue inoculated with vaccinia virus to the patient following the administration of the at least one anti-HIV drug.
A method for treatment of HIV infection comprising the administration of an extract from inflammatory tissue inoculated with vaccinia virus to a patient in need of such treatment after viral loads of HIV in blood are lowered by the administration of at least one anti-HIV drug, or after the plasma viral level of HIV-RNA is lowered to less than a detectable limit by the administration of at least one anti-HIV drug.
A method for treatment of HIV infection comprising reducing the viral load of HIV in the blood or reducing the plasma viral level of HIV-RNA in a patient by the administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one anti-HIV drug, and administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of an extract from inflammatory tissue inoculated with vaccinia virus while said viral load of HIV or viral level of HIV-RNA is reduced.
