Drug: Ciprofloxacin
20 (SGDHIV) Participants will be randomized to either Ciprofloxacin or a Placebo arm. Ciprofloxacin 500mg will be over encapsulated and taken 2x daily for 28days, Placebo will also be over encapsulated and taken 2x daily for 28days. This study is double blinded. Each study participant will be consented and be required to complete study questionnaires.

- (BK) Virus replication and shedding [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]It has been determined that patients with (HIVSGD) shed high levels of (BK) Virus and have evidence of replicating (BK) Virus in their salivary gland tissues. Body fluids and salivary gland tissue will be assessed for evidence of (BK) Virus replication. It will be determine whether Cipro administration decreases (BK) Virus replication in patients with (HIVSGD).
- Salivary function [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]It will be determine whether salivary gland function is improved or restored with the administration of Cipro.
