A doctor or other trained health professional will give your child this medicine in a hospital. It is given through an IV catheter that is placed in a vein. This medicine must be given slowly, so the IV will need to stay in place for at least 30 minutes.
This medicine is made specifically for each patient, using the patient's own blood cells. Your child's doctor will collect your child's blood through a procedure called mobilization and apheresis. Talk with your child's doctor if you have any concerns about this.
Your child should not use medicine to treat HIV for at least 1 month before having a procedure to collect his or her blood.
