Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety tolerance and overall effectiveness of cidovir to treat PML in AIDS patients

PML is an opportunistic infection HIV-associated due to weak immune system caused by a virus that attacks the brain Cidovir has been used effectively to treat cytomegalovirus CMV of the eye Cidovir could be an effective treatment for PML as well
Detailed Description: PML is a demyelinating disease of the brains white matter occurring when the JC virus infects the brain of patients infected with HIV-1 Cidofovir is known to be an effective treatment for cytomegalovirus of the eye and in laboratory and animal testing has also been shown to be effective against several other viruses However cidofovir is considered investigational as a treatment for PML

In this multicenter open-label study 24 patients receive cidofovir iv over 1 hr on days 0 7 then every 2 wk for a total of 13 doses

Oral probenecid is given 3h prior to and 2h and 8h following cidofovir administration Nucleoside and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptors are withheld on days of probenecid administration Protease inhibitors are continued during probenecid administration
