Study Summary

HIV is characterized by frequent immune system activation. Early in the course of infection the body establishes an immune activation "set point" related to the amount of HIV in the blood stream. This set point affects the rate of CD4 cell loss. Without CD4 cells, or with very low levels of CD4 cells, the body cannot fight off illness. This is known as immunodeficiency. If left untreated HIV can lead to extreme immunodeficiency and AIDS. Evidence suggests that by decreasing the rate of immune system activation, immune deficiency progression could be prevented. The purpose of this study is to learn how well chloroquine can reduce the level of immune activation and to test the safety and tolerance of chloroquine in people infected with HIV.

Primary Outcome

The baseline percent CD8 HLA-DR+/CD38+ (mean of pre-entry and entry percent CD8 HLA-DR+/CD38+) was subtracted from the mean of week 10 and week 12 percent CD8 HLA-DR+/CD38+.
