ABSTRACT:
Human Immunodeficiency Virus infections, particularly AIDS, are treated by administering a psoralen compound which is subsequently activated by exposure to electromagnetic radiation (e.g. UVA light) whereby the activated psoralen compound attacks free virus and/or virus infected cells in the blood of the patient. The treated blood when presented to the patient's immune system engenders an effective immune response against the infection. The method has particular utility in the treatment of ARC patients who have depressed immune function.
