This study will test brentuximab vedotin to see if it is safe for people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have low CD4+ and have received antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment. It will also see if brentuximab vedotin raises CD4+ counts. It will study the side effects of this drug as well. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease.
In this study participants will be assigned randomly to a group. Participants will get either brentuximab vedotin or placebo. A placebo looks like the drug but does not contain any medicine in it. All participants will keep getting ART during the study.
