The agents according to the present invention are useful for prophylaxis of and treatment for AIDS because they have a very preferable nature that they inhibit the growth of HIV without killing cells against primarily infected cells, but exhibit both cell-killing effect and HIV-killing effect at the same time against persistent-production cells which have come to persistently produce HIV.
