Methods are provided for treating patients who are infected with a virus using a photoactive compound that, upon activation by exposure to electromagnetic radiation of a prescribed spectrum, such as ultraviolet light, inactivates and/or attenuates the virus and permits the so treated virus and/or virus infected cells to be presented to the immune system of the patient. Medicaments and an apparatus for carrying out said methods are also provided.
