Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to assess tolerability and safety of three different formulations of an anti-HIV immunotherapy based on autologous dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with HIV chemically inactivated with Aldrithiol™-2 (AT-2). Patients were chronically infected with HIV, naïve for antiretroviral drugs. A possible immunological and virological favorable impact was also assessed.
