METHOD OF TREATMENT OF HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS

摘要

A method of treating a patient for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) includes administering to the individual patient intravenously a therapeutically effective dosage of oxyphenarsine (3 amino-4 hydroxyphenyl-arsineoxide hydrochloride). The dose employed may be up to about 1 milligram per kilogram of body weight administered 1 to 2 times weekly. The oxyphenarsine is preferably administered in such an amount as to achieve in said patient a blood serum concentration of about 0.12 to 6.0 micrograms per milliliter.
