In Search of a Cure: Working to Turn on HIV (October 16, 2009)
It sounds like a weird idea: Beat HIV by creating a drug that makes the virus more active. But that's exactly the strategy that some researchers are using.

High-Dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin May Reduce Latent HIV Reservoir in Resting CD4+ Cells, Study Suggests (February 10, 2009)
A five-day course of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin appears to somehow activate replication-competent HIV in the resting CD4+ cells of patients on HAART, ultimately leading to a reduction in those patients' latent HIV reservoirs, according to the results of a nine-patient study presented by Magnus Gisslén, M.D., Ph.D.
