Use of one or more ingenol derivatives of formula I
- in the preparation of a product useful in the treatment of HIV virus infection or AIDS treatment, wherein Z is Z1 or Z2 as follows:
- such that when Z=Z1
- x and y are integers, x varies between 2 and 10 and y varies between 2 and 7;
- and when Z=Z2,
- A is phenyl, CH3— or CH2=CH—,

- wherein q is an integer varying between 1 and 10, preferably between 2 and 6, and w is an integer varying between 1 and 10, preferably between 8 and 10,
- provided that:
- when A is phenyl, B is —CH═CH—;
- when A is CH3—, B is [—CH2—]q;
- when A is CH2=CH—, B is [—CH2—]w
