This clinical trial focuses on treating a specific type of infection called Mycobacterium-Avium Complex (MAC) bacteremia in patients living with AIDS. The main goal is to find out if a medication regimen that includes a drug named rifabutin can eliminate or reduce the number of MAC organisms in the blood. This study also aims to improve symptoms related to MAC infection and increase the survival rate of AIDS patients dealing with this infection. The safety of the drug regimen is another important aspect being evaluated in this study.
