ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves HIV evaluation and AIDS treatment by eliciting lymphocytosis with pertussis toxin in order to reveal the sequestered HIV or SIV in the lymph tissues enabling HIV infection analysis, viral quantification and treatment. The lymphocytosis itself causes an alleviation of the AIDS symptoms and a reduction in the viral load. The present invention could also be used in conjunction with a large variety of adjunct therapies.
