A Pilot Study to Examine the Feasibility and Effect on Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Inhibition on HIV Disease

This pilot study will investigate the safety and effect of etanercept in HIV infection by studying HIV replication and immune function (as measured by CD4 counts) in individuals with HIV infection.
