Patients are excluded if there is a prior diagnosis of HIV infection by one of the following criteria: - HIV antibody positive by ELISA and Western blot assays or by other certified test method. (Patients who are ELISA positive but Western blot or other confirmatory tests are negative may continue in study). - HIV antigen positive. - Clinical symptoms which lead to a diagnosis by a licensed physician of AIDS or AIDS related complex or AIDS-related dementia.
