This study focuses on HIV-infected adults who have developed a condition called neutropenia, which is a low count of a type of white blood cells called neutrophils. This can be a side effect of the antiretroviral medication, zidovudine (AZT). The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug called sargramostim (GM-CSF) in increasing and maintaining neutrophil counts. This could potentially help HIV-infected adults with neutropenia better tolerate AZT treatment. The study also explores the potential therapeutic benefits of using GM-CSF alongside AZT on the progression of HIV infection and related complications.
