Brief Summary: To study the effect of passive immunotherapy PIT over the HIV-viral load and the CD4 T-cell counts in patients who have failed to respond to three different Highly-Active Antiretroviral Therapy HAART and who have at the moment less than 100 CD4-T cellsml and a viral load over 20000 copiesml
Detailed Description: Double blind comparative randomized study with placebo in two phases

Phase I I A pilot study to asses the virologic efficacy in 30 patients will be done They will be under the same HAART regimen and they will be randomized to receive

1 Group I HAART PIT n 15
2 Group II HAART placebo non-hyperimmune plasma n 15

Passive immunotherapy will consist in 500 cc of inactivated plasma with methylene-blue standard inactivation method from asymptomatic patients in early phases of the infection A transfusion will be done and a complete blood test including viral load and CD4-T cell counts will be done at days 3 7 14 21 and 28 The non-hyperimmune plasma Group II will be inactivated by the same method

A second dose of hyperimmune plasma and placebo Group I and Group II respectively will be administered at 1 month from the beginning of the trial

A complete blood test including viral load and CD4-T cell counts will be done at month 2 3 and 4

Phase II 30 patients under the same HAART regimen will be randomized to receive

1 Group I HAART PIT n 15
2 Group II HAART placebo non-hyperimmune plasma n 15

Passive immunotherapy will consist in 500 cc of inactivated plasma with methylene-blue standard inactivation method from asymptomatic patients in early phases of the infection guided by the neutralization capacity of the plasma donors over the virus receptor A transfusion will be done and a complete blood test including viral load and CD4-T cell counts will be done at days 3 7 14 21 and 28 The non-hyperimmune plasma Group II will be inactivated by the same method

A second dose of hyperimmune plasma and placebo Group I and Group II respectively will be administered at 1 month from the beginning of the phase II

The patients will remain under HAART the next year A complete clinical examination and a blood test that includes hemogram and biochemical parameters renal and hepatic function and viral load will be done each month Every three months a CD4CD8 T cell count will be done and it will be obtained plasma and serum from each patient

Additionally a genotype and a virtual phenotype of the HIV will be obtained at the beginning and at the end of the study

Study end-points

-Main end-point Phase I proportion of patients who reduce their plasma viral load or 1 log after two infusions of hyperimmune plasma

Phase II proportion of patients who reduce their plasma viral load or 1 log after a year

- Secondary end-points

1 Proportion of patients whose CD4 T cell count is over 100 cellsmm3 after a year
2 Proportion of patients whose p24-antigenemia is below the limits of detection
3 Number of mutations conferring resistance to antiretrovirals at the end of the study compared to the mutations at the beginning
4 Type C events
5 Death
6 Toxicity
7 Adherence
