To determine the safety of escalating doses of SC-48334 when administered in combination with any of three doses of AZT to symptomatic HIV-1 positive patients with 200 - 500 CD4+ cells/mm3, and to assess the pharmacokinetics of the two drugs, given separately and in combination.
Inclusion Criteria Patients must have: Documented HIV infection. CD4 cell count 200 - 500 cells/mm3. Prior therapy with 12 - 48 weeks of AZT.

Prior Treatment: Excluded: Whole-body irradiation within 6 months prior to study entry. Current use of illicit substances, or abuse of alcohol, which would limit compliance with the protocol.
