The study design is a randomized, controlled, open-label multi-dose trial of PEHRG214 administered intravenously three times weekly, with the potential for dose escalation in selected patients. Patients with HIV infection, viral load at least 10 times greater than the site laboratory's lower limit of detection and CD4 count of <220 cells/mm3, will be entered into the trial. All patients must be taking an optimized background regimen (OBR) of antiretroviral agents, as confirmed by the Principal Investigator, in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1 Infected Adults and Adolescents, May 4, 2006.
