About this trial
The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells treatment for AIDS patients at late stage.

Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
mesenchymal stem cell
DrugMesenchymal stem cell dose is 0.75-1.0×10\*6/kg and is transplanted by intravenous infusion. For the mesenchymal stem cell standard treatment group, the cells are used for three times(at week 0, 2,4 after recruitment) and the mesenchymal stem cell enhanced treatment group, the cells are used for six times(at week 0, 2,4,24,26,28 after recruitment).
saline
Other interventionsaline is used as placebo in the placebo comparator group
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of participants with side effects in MSCs treatment groups
Investiagte the number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 after MSCs infusion.
CD4+ T cell counts after MSCs transfusion
at week 12, 24 and 48, evaluate CD4+ T cell counts and compare with baseline
Secondary outcomes
HIV RNA viral load
At week 12, 24 and 48, test HIV RNA viral load in participants' blood using RT-PCR and compare with baseline.
